North London rivals Arsenal and Tottenham renew old acquaintances at the Emirates in the weekend's marquee match-up.
Arsene Wenger and the Gunners badly need a victory against their arch-rivals to keep their hold on fourth place in the Premier League, while Tottenham can solidify their hold on third place with a result on the road.
This weekend's slate of matches features top match-ups in several of Europe's best leagues. In Italy, title chasers AC Milan and Juventus square off in a match that will go a long way toward determining which team will lift the Scudetto this season. Champions League heroes Napoli will try to carry over their European success in league play, where a date with Inter Milan awaits.
In Germany, third-place Bayern Munich and fourth-place Schalke square off in what should be an intense affair, while Ligue 1 leaders Paris St. Germain take on Lyon in another promising clash.
You should have even more viewing options at your disposal than usual this weekend, with Fox Soccer Plus offering a free preview all weekend.
