Man. Utd v Liverpool @Old Trafford @1:30pm on March 10

This is a clash between two rivals in the true sense chasing the second spot on the EPL table. It is the pragmatist [Jose Mourinho] versus the romantic [Jurgen Klopp] with no goals between them this season. Liverpool defender, Dejan Lovren, properly captures that difference in mentality, “For them, it will be maybe a point good but for us, we never play for a point.” There is also that reunion between Mohamed Salah, February’s Player of the month, who has scored in the previous five EPL matches, and his former manager at Chelsea, who did not give him much of a chance. United boast a good record against Liverpool at Old Trafford – 10 wins in their last 13 EPL meetings while Liverpool, under Klopp, is the most potent away side in Europe’s top five leagues – 34 at the last count.

Will both sides go for the win or will Mourinho still put on the handbrakes, looking for the point that will keep his team in second place?

Inter Milan v Napoli @San Siro @8:45pm on March 11

This is the perfect match for the weekend in Italy. Napoli were shocked by Roma last weekend while Inter, who forced Napoli to drop points for the first time this season in October looks to have reawakened. Napoli may start this match in second place as Juventus play Udinese earlier [they also have a game in hand] and that will surely increase the pressure on Maurizio Sarri’s team to get a win at San Siro. Inter, for now, are safe in their Europa League slot but they are itching to return to the Champions League, which should make this match an effective shootout. An exciting prospect in view!
