After a dominant start to open the Serie A season, AC Milan has come back down to earth in recent weeks and now finds itself trailing bitter rival Inter Milan by a point.
It is only a point, but momentum is not on the red side of the rivalry at the moment.
A couple of weeks ago, things got testy in their Coppa Italia quarterfinal matchup where a late Zlatan Ibrahimović red card helped Inter take the spoils and build some serious momentum to the tune of winning its last three league games and march into first place.
Heading into the weekend, Inter will look it make it a four-point lead when the two go head to head on Sunday for a match primed for great viewing. Tensions will run hot once again as they square off for the last time in the 2021 campaign.
In England, we will know more about Liverpool’s status on Saturday.
After slipping and falling to a myriad of lesser quality teams in recent weeks of Premier League play, the Reds may have gotten their mojo back with a precious midweek Champions League win over RB Leipzig.
Merseyside Derby rival Everton stands in their way though, and it’s a battle of 6th vs 7th in the Premier League ranks, and a win should catapult one back into the top four.

This Weekend’s Top 5 Matches to Watch
1. AC Milan vs. Inter Milan. Sunday’s Milan Derby has all the ingredients for an unforgettable affair.
2. Liverpool vs. Everton. Saturday’s Merseyside Derby features two teams that are each in desperate need of three points to jump back into the race for the Premier League Top 4.
3. Arsenal vs. Manchester City. Can anybody stop Pep Guardiola’s juggernaut? The Gunners are a longshot, but this Sunday battle should be entertaining either way.
4. Eintracht Frankfurt vs. Bayern Munich. Bayern face a stiff test on Sunday against a streaking Eintracht Frankfurt side that hammered Bayern the last time the champions visited Frankfurt, though that was more than a year ago, before Hansi Flick took charge.
5. Schalke vs. Borussia Dortmund. Revierderby’s always have some extra spice, but Saturday’s edition features two equally desperate teams in need of a win, and could also feature a pair of talented young Americans in Gio Reyna and Matthew Hoppe.
