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! The former Man. City gem will be extra pumped against his old rivals, but at least United won’t have to worry about Jadon Sancho – the loanee can’t face…
