A pair of old rivals collide in Liverpool while the Ligue 1 leader tries to extend its lead in France and a surprising contender hopes to continue its climb up the Spanish table in the top televised games from Europe this weekend.
EPL: The Merseyside Derby, the longest-running top-flight derby in English soccer, remains one of the Premier League’s marquee matchups even if it has become rather predictable: Heading into the revival Sunday at Anfield (NBCSN, Telemundo 8 a.m. PST), Everton is winless in the last eight games against Liverpool. There’s more than local bragging rights at stake this weekend because Liverpool is unbeaten in league play while Everton has lost just one of its last seven to climb to sixth in the table.
