The FotMob Rundown: Sunday 20 September

By Bill Biss

There’s four games to round off the Premier League weekend, including a first trip back to Bournemouth for the now Liverpool manager Andoni Iraola.

Manchester City will attempt to keep pace with Arsenal at the top of the table when they host Sunderland, while Michael Carrick will be looking for his Manchester United side to ease the pressure already mounting on his shoulders when the Red Devils visit Fulham, at Craven Cottage.

For the second Sunday in a row, Celtic meet Rangers in the Old Firm Derby – only this time, it’s at Celtic Park.

In Ligue 1, it’s time for Le Classique as France’s big two – Marseille and PSG clash down on the Mediterranean coast. And it’s O Clássico in Portugal, where Porto face Marco Silva’s Benfica, their great national rivals.

Black Country neighbours Wolves and West Brom are reunited in the English Championship, and there is, of course, the Madrid Derby to headline the day in LaLiga, with José Mourinho coming up against old adversary Diego Simeone as Real head across town to Atlético.

Both sides won in midweek – albeit in rather different circumstances, Atlético thrashing Osasuna 4-0 and Real edging a 3-2 thriller with Elche. But both will be determined to strike a early blow to their local rivals’ title ambitions.

For Simeone and Mourinho, it’s their first encounter in charge of these clubs since April 2013 – when Atleti came from behind to win the Copa del Rey final.

Away from the big derby action, Juventus vs. Atalanta, and Ruben Amorim’s unbeaten Milan against Lecce should provide the drama in Serie A.
