SPANISH LA LIGA
Barcelona 3 Granada 1
Quique Setien’s debut in the Nou Camp dug out sees him try to implement the Cruyffian philosophy of pass and move. The absence, through injury of Luis Suarez, means Lionel Messi will lead the line with Antoine Greizmann.

ENGLISH PREMIER LEAGUE

Liverpool 2 Man United 0

The return from injury of Fabinho adds solidity to a Liverpool midfield that has not conceded in 550 minutes of Premier League action. Manchester United will become the last team to lose to the Kop this season.

Newcastle Utd 1-2 Chelsea
Despite St James Park being a traditionally difficult hunting ground for Chelsea, I expect the Londoners to thrive as spaces available will allow their counter-attacking game to thrive.

Arsenal 2-1 Sheffield Utd
Gunners players are finally coming to terms with the possession based pressing game Mikel Arteta expects of them. This should allow Arsenal to prevail in a close encounter.

ITALIAN SERIE A

Napoli 2 0 Fiorentina

Napoli haven’t been playing as poorly as the results they are registering. They were the better team against Lazio last week only to be undone by a David Ospina howler. Gennaro Gattuso’s side will overcome Fiorentina.
