Leeds United vs Burnley

Championship promotion hopefuls Leeds and Burnley collide at Elland Road on Saturday lunchtime with both teams in the early mix at the top of the table. After a false start with consecutive draws, Leeds have recorded back-to-back wins over Yorkshire rivals Sheffield Wednesday and Hull to climb to fourth.

Burnley began with a bang but have since dropped points in their last two games. However, Scott Parker’s team are the joint-highest scorers in the Championship so far.

Leeds will start as slight favourites and are unbeaten in their last five meetings against Burnley.

Real Sociedad vs Real Madrid

Real Madrid will not want to lose more ground on Barcelona with a gap having already opened up between the champions and their eternal rivals. Carlo Ancelotti’s side have drawn two of their first four games and next make the tough trip to San Sebastien.

Sociedad, however, have had a shaky start as La Real look to combat the summer losses of Mikel Merino and Robin Le Normand – arguably there most important pair. Defeat would condemn Sociedad to a fourth consecutive league loss in front of their own fans, but Real Madrid should not predict a walkover.

In Martin Zubimendi, Takefusa Kubo and Mikel Oyarzabal, Sociedad have the talent to trouble the champions.

Tottenham vs Arsenal

All eyes will be fixed on North London on Sunday as Tottenham and Arsenal meet in a local grudge match. Clashes between these teams have often had great consequence on their respective fortunes in recent campaigns, as both teams look to tussle at the top of the table.

Each are aiming to bounce back from disappointing results before the break and contests between them rarely disappoint. Arsenal, however, have issues with both Declan Rice and Martin Odegaard expected to be out. Spurs will smell blood.
