Here’s why this Sunday could be one of the greatest sporting days in recent memory

We're all just recovering from an incredible weekend of sporting action that saw Spurs pummel Man City, Alexis Sanchez return to his scintillating best and Wales defy the odds at Twickenham.

All this without mentioning countless other brilliant matches, meetings and races over the weekend. Brace yourself though because next weekend, mainly Sunday October 4th, looks set to be absolutely incredible for football fans, and here's why... Premier League  Everton v Liverpool : 13:30 K.O and Arsenal v Manchester United : 16:00 K.O Brendan Rodgers will have breathed a huge sigh of relief after that win against Aston Villa on Saturday while 'Pool fans will be delighted to have seen Daniel Sturridge make a goalscoring return. But wouldn't Everton just love it to compound the misery on their neighbours? Manchester United currently sit at the top of the league but Van Gaal's men will face the first major test of their title credentials when they travel to the Emirates. Gunners fans must be absolutely delighted to see Alexis rediscover his best form ahead of this crunch meeting.

La Liga

Atletico Madrid v Real Madrid : 19:30 K.O It's the unfancied Villarreal that currently sit at the top of La Liga right now and Rafa Benitez will know that a win in his first Madrid derby will be a huge boost. Atletico have already lost twice this season and Diego Simeone's charges really can't afford to drop even further behind the early pace setters.

Bundesliga

Bayern Munich v Borussia Dortmund : 16:30 K.O  Germany's top two teams battle it out once again as Dortmund travel to the Allianz Arena looking to bridge the four point gap on Pep Guardiola's men. Thomas Tuchel has given BVB a new lease of life following a disappointing season by their own high standards in Jurgen Klopp's final year at the helm, but it doesn't get much tougher than facing the German champions in their own ground.

Elsewhere

There will be no love lost when French champions PSG play host to bitter rivals Marseille (20:00 K.O) or maybe you prefer to watch Mario Balotelli's AC Milan take on Napoli in Serie A (19:45). The biggest game in Dutch football also takes place as Ajax host PSV earlier in the day (13:30 K.O), while if MLS is your thing you can stay up to watch Steven Gerrard's LA Galaxy travel to Seattle at 2.30 in the morning.
