Do you have plans this weekend? You might want to think about canceling them.
It was difficult to pick just five games this week’s ‘must watch’ selection, as the fixture computers from across the globe have churned out a succession of top class contests.
In the two main events, we will get to see arguably the best two sides in both England and Spain go head-to-head. Those epic contests will be ably supported by two huge derby games and a top of the table clash in Portugal.
Cancelled those plans yet? I bet you will have done after reading this line-up of games…

FC Schalke 04 vs Borussia Dortmund – Saturday 26th October, 9:30am, GolTV
The Ruhr derby will be played out on Saturday against two sides who have had contrasting starts to the campaign.
Schalke have been massively inconsistent and sit fifth in the Bundesliga standings. Chelsea cruised to an easy victory in midweek at the Veltins arena, but the Die Knappen have got back to winning ways in the Bundesliga as of late.
They have won their last three domestic games and will have to be at their absolute best if they are to get a result against Borussia Dortmund. Die Borussen put in a superb performance away at Arsenal in the Champions League, and a similar showing of clinical, incisive soccer should see them have too much for Schalke here.
Schalke actually came out on top in this fixture last season, and the atmosphere for the Revierderby often gives major impetus to the home side. It should be a cracking contest between two teams that will be looking to win.
