The final weekend of August promises drama, rivalries, and season-defining battles across Europe’s top leagues, with the spotlight firmly on England, Germany, and Italy.
All eyes in England will turn to Anfield on Sunday, where Liverpool host Arsenal in a fixture already shaping the title race. Jürgen Klopp’s Reds, buoyed by a fierce home record, face an Arsenal side rejuvenated under Mikel Arteta. Both clubs remain unbeaten, but with Manchester City breathing down their necks, dropped points here could prove costly.
Elsewhere, Manchester United welcome Burnley in what feels like a must-win game after a sluggish start. Chelsea face Fulham in a London derby at Stamford Bridge, while Tottenham travel to Bournemouth looking to extend their strong early form. On Sunday, Manchester City’s trip to Brighton tests Pep Guardiola’s men against one of the league’s most adventurous sides.
In the Bundesliga, champions Bayern Munich travel to Augsburg on Saturday, with new signings already under pressure to deliver goals. Bayer Leverkusen, last season’s surprise package, head to Bremen as they look to continue their title challenge. Elsewhere, RB Leipzig meet Heidenheim, while Eintracht Frankfurt visit Hoffenheim in what could be one of the weekend’s most open games.
Serie A serves up intriguing encounters, with Juventus away at Genoa on Sunday standing out. The Bianconeri, desperate to return to Scudetto contention, will be wary of a Genoa side that has already upset bigger names this season. Roma’s trip to Pisa and AC Milan’s clash with Lecce add further intrigue to a weekend that could set the tone for the Italian title race.
