5 spicy fixtures to watch this weekend 🌶.

Five of the hottest football games to watch this weekend, including Ruben Amorim's debut at Manchester United and seismic Serie A clashes.

Here are our five must-see games for the weekend.

Ipswich Town versus Manchester United

Manchester United fans are cautiously optimistic following the appointment of Ruben Amorim. The flamboyant coach, who has a rising reputation at Sporting Lisbon, has been tasked with turning around a fallen giant's fortunes.


Amorim's ideas are fantastic, but they may take time to implement at Old Trafford. Ipswich Town, encouraged by their victory over Spurs before the international break, will want to burst the bubble.

Napoli vs. Roma

Napoli leads the Serie A title chase after one of the most exciting openings to a season in memory. Antonio Conte's team is only two points behind Juventus in sixth place, and every point counts in a crowded top half.


Roma began the season with ambitions of joining the title-chasing group, but now sits 12th in the table and has hired their third manager of the season. Claudio Ranieri has been persuaded out of retirement for his third tenure with the capital club.

Chelsea versus Manchester United (WSL)

Someone's 0 needs to go.

Chelsea and Manchester United, the WSL's unbeaten teams, face off this weekend in their games in hand. Chelsea are looking menacing, with a perfect record of 11 wins from 11 games across all competitions this season.

Manchester United can move up to third place with a win, and they have been tough opponents this season. The Red Devils are unbeaten after seven games (W4, D3) and have the division's strongest defence, conceding only two goals.

AC Milan versus Juventus

This weekend, AC Milan will host Juventus at the San Siro. This season, the Serie A titans are all attempting to reclaim their previous glory, with Juventus locked in a six-team battle for first place.

Milan has fallen behind the competition, but they have the talent to reclaim their place. A Champions League victory over Real Madrid earlier this month demonstrated what the Rossoneri are capable of.

Manchester City versus Tottenham


When Manchester City hosts Tottenham Hotspur, there is nearly always entertainment, and goals are frequently on the menu.

The last three league matches at the Etihad Stadium have averaged 5.6 goals per game, with a thrilling 3-3 draw between the rivals last season. Each has just one style of play, and with two front-footed clubs looking to rebound from defeats before the international break, the stage is set for a thrilling match.

Will Kylian Mbappé (25) keep his position as France captain in 2025? It remains to be seen, given the Real Madrid striker's absences from the previous two international holidays with Les Bleus. According to L'Equipe, Les Bleus coach Didier Deschamps will confront the former PSG forward about his desire to continue wearing the captain's armband.
