Saturday’s best games to follow

By Bill Biss

There’s seven matches on the slate in the Premier League, with Newcastle vs. Bournemouth kicking of an epic day of action. Early season pacesetters Man City and Hull City are involved, with Maresca’s Blues hosting Coventry, and the Tigers closing the day against winless Villa.

Schalke, now back in the big time, have the daunting task of facing champions Bayern in the Bundesliga, and Athletic Club vs. Atlético Madrid is the headliner in LaLiga.

In Italy, Donyell Malen (five goals in two games) will be on the hunt for more when Roma play Atalanta, a game that comes just after the clash between title favourites Inter and Napoli.

It’s been a record breaking start to the Erdevisie season with the most goals ever recorded in the history of the Dutch league, and today two of the big three clash as Ajax host PSV Eindhoven.

In Türkiye, two of Istanbul’s big three also meet, with Beşiktaş heading across town to Fenerbahçe. Both teams have won two and lost one of their opening three games this season.

And lastly, spare a thought for Sirius, the runaway success story in Sweden who went 16 games unbeaten but have seen their lead at the top of the table cut down to six points after three straight defeats. They play away at midtable Västerås.
