The description of this week’s matches has to be somewhat abbreviated because I’m busy packing for a week-long trip to Washington and New York City. We will tell you, though, that there are two matches bookending this weekend that feature a pair of ranked clubs. On Friday, the German Bundesliga returns with a bang as Bayer Leverkusen hosts leader Borussia Dortmund. On Sunday, at White Hart Lane in North London, the other match takes place when Tottenham Hotspur hosts top-ranked Manchester United.
That’s all the background for the moment. All of the matches that are to be broadcast in the States, however, are listed below. Until the next rankings on Monday, have a great weekend!
