5. Real Sociedad vs Barcelona

Real Sociedad will come on his game on the back of a 2-2 draw with Mallorca. They are currently five points behind Barcelona in fifth place and will hope to reduce the gap when they host the Catalans giants.

Meanwhile, Barcelona will come on this match with a 2-1 defeat to Real Madrid. The Blaugurana have been decent this season and squeezing out wins somehow despite many key players being injured. They were unlucky against Real Madrid despite being the dominant side throughout the game. They will hope to return to winning ways when they face Sociedad.

4. Manchester United vs Newcastle United (Carabao Cup)

The 2023–24 quarterfinal draw will feature only one of the EFL Cup finalists from the previous year. On Wednesday, Manchester United and Newcastle United will square off in their fourth phase match at Old Trafford.

Although the Magpies ruined Manchester City's quadruple ambitions with a thrilling one-goal victory, Erik ten Hag's team cruised into the round of sixteen with three goals past Crystal Palace sans a response.

Man United's dominance has considerably diminished since they left Eddie Howe's team heartbroken at Wembley as they celebrated the end of their six-year trophy drought, and the current EFL Cup champions were nothing short of appalling in Sunday's Manchester derby.

3. Newcastle vs Arsenal

The Magpies had a rough start to the season, but they have since pulled together and are back on track ahead of their two major games. Before they Arsenal face they will take on United in the EFL winning in both games will give them much-needed assurance.

Arsenal, on the other hand, just missed the playoffs the previous year, but they are not exhibiting any negative trends. Mikel Arteta's team only sits in second place because they have a worse goal differential than Manchester City, the reigning champions.

While Arsenal demolished Sheffield United 5-1 and have occupied the second spot. They will hope to maintain their spot inside the top four when they face Newcastle.

2. Tottenham vs Chelsea

Mauricio Pochettino will return to his old team for the London Derby, but with a new team. The Argentine manager, a fan favourite at Tottenham, altered the club's course during his protracted tenure there. He will return as manager of Chelsea who are currently struggling to secure wins but their performance under the former Southampton manager has improved massively.

Spurs, on the other hand, are leading the table thanks to Ange Postecoglu's miraculous turnaround of the team. When their dependable goal scorer left, there were mixed feelings about who would take over for him, but under the Austrian manager, this hasn't been noticed and Spurs are currently thriving.

1. Dortmund vs Bayern Munich

66 of the 108 encounters between the two teams have been won by Bayern Munich. The two opponents enter Der Klassiker together. Dortmund has enjoyed a respectable start to the season and is currently fourth in the standings. Bellingham's departure has been greatly felt, but the German side hopes to raise a stir.

Harry Kane's hat trick helped Bayern obliterate their last opponent. They are still trailing Bayern Leverkusen in the standings, though. They intend to keep up the pressure on those who tip the table.
