REAL MADRID v BARCELONA Saturday 26 October, 8pm We never miss El Clasico because the games always deliver! In their last five meetings there have been 20 goals, averaging four goals a game, with Real Madrid winning the last four head-to-heads in all competitions. Los Blancos’ home advantage will play its part, for sure, but Barca aren’t the washed side they looked at times during 2023-24! MAN. UNITED v CHELSEA Sunday 3 November, 4.30pm These teams played out a thriller when they last met in April, with Cole Palmer’s stoppage-time brace sealing his hat-trick and the comeback win for The Blues!
