Massive! Five matches you can’t afford to miss

– The English league has been decided but Leicester will be having a party at the King Power Stadium

– Spanish La Liga will go down the wire as three teams jostle for the title in the penultimate games

– Enugu Rangers host Shooting Stars in what could be described as an epic NPFL fixture

The leagues across Europe are almost rounding off and some of this weekend’s matches will decide the fate of teams vying for titles; with some desperate to avoid relegation.

These are then five must see matches this weekend

1. Leicester City vs Everton

The English League has already been decided last Monday at Stamford Bridge when Chelsea’s 2 – 2 draw with Tottenham crowned Leicester Champions of England for the first time.



The Foxes will have their celebration party as they tackle Everton at the King Power Stadium where fans will be given free pizzas.

The Toffees will be looking to stun the Champions as under pressure coach, Roberto Martinez will be aiming to finish strongly in league after losing to Manchester United in the FA Cup.

2. Manchester City vs Arsenal

No doubt, this is definitely a curtain raiser. The race for the Champions League spot is still on as the citizens are looking ahead to secure their European credentials for incoming coach Pep Guardiola.



Arsene Wenger will be looking to redeem his image before the London fans by getting the deserved result and finishing this season on a high.

3. Barcelona vs Espanyol

The Catalan derby in the past has always been a tug of war between both Barcelona and Espanyol but in recent years the Bualgrana has always stamped their authority over their city rivals.



However Espanyol will want to spoil the party for Barcelona by inflicting a win on draw which will be detrimental to the title hopes of the defending champions.

All Barcelona need is an outright win in the derby even if they will come out with bruises.

4. Real Madrid vs Valencia

When both teams met in the first half of the season the, then Gary Neville side forced Real to a 1-1 draw at the Mestalla which lead to sack of Rafa Benitez.



Real Madrid on the other hand are in fine form both in the league and Champions League and a victory is expected from the Los Blancos but they will be without their most informed player Gareth Bale.

5. Rangers vs Shooting Stars

The old time enemies will be at the war front again when league leaders Enugu Rangers trade tackles with Shooting Stars of Ibadan.

Rangers are sitting comfortably on top of the log with 27 points from 14 matches and will be looking to consolidate their leadership with a win over the ‘Oluyole Warriors’ at Enugu.



The visitors have not been having good results on the road as they have handed heavy defeats by El-kanemi and Kano Pillars conceding nine goals in the process.

The Afonja Warriors will be aiming to snatch a draw to boost their chances of survival in the Premier League as they are placed 18th on the log with 16 points from 17 matches.
