After the international match break, club football returns with a bang.
English champions will host the "Liverpool" team, which has ambitious plans for revival in Manchester. In Italy, the clubs "Juventus" and "Milan" will face each other, while there will be a match in "La Liga" that needs no introduction - "El Clasico".
"Premier League": "Manchester City" - "Liverpool" (November 21, 7:30 p.m.)
- The "city dwellers" have long forgotten what it means to lose at home to visitors from Liverpool. The last six matches at the "Etihad" stadium ended in four home wins and two draws

- "Liverpool" is experiencing a real goal drought and has already improved its record in the Premier League - scoring only 13 goals in the first 12 matches

"La Liga": "Real" - "Barcelona" (November 21, 7:15 p.m.)
- The last nine "El Clasico" matches have featured goals - in every match, each team scored at least one goal. This is the longest streak since 1946-1952 (13 matches)
- "Real" can boast of a very successful performance in front of their fans - in the last 22 Spanish championship matches, they have not suffered a single defeat (19 wins, 3 draws). In the last 5 matches at home, the team from the Spanish capital has conceded only one goal
- In the last 100 La Liga matches at home, "Real" scored 338 goals, i.e. 3.38 per game

- "Real" has won only two La Liga matches at home against Barcelona in the last seven (1 draw, 4 losses)

"Serie A": "Juventus" - "Milan" (November 21, 9:45 p.m.)
- In Serie A, the teams have played against each other 160 times. "Juventus" is leading with 58 wins, while 54 matches ended in a draw
- The Turin team can set a record - they have never lost six consecutive matches against Milan. Their current winning streak of 5 matches before was previously recorded only once - from 1980 to 1984

- "Milan" in Serie A is boasting a streak of five matches without a loss (3 wins, 2 draws). The last time such a streak of six matches without losses was recorded in October 2014
- The curse on Juventus is long-range opponent goals. Defending champions "bianconeri" have conceded the most long-range shots from outside the penalty area in the entire championship. Last year, there were just 4 such goals
- M.Allegri's team likes to shoot towards the goal, but lacks accuracy - 168 attempts and only 9.5 percent resulting in a goal. Only three Serie A teams perform worse
