The weekend is upon us and as usual we should be expecting mouthwatering fixtures that should keep us entertained. Here are our top five star matches to look out for this weekend in Europe and why we think they are special.
1. Bayern Munich vs Wolfsburg

Date: Friday, September 22, 2017
Time: 7.30pm
Venue name: Allianz Arena
Referee: Christian Dingert from Germany
Round: Matchday 6
Bayern Munich who currently sits 2nd in the Bundesliga table will hope to take all 3 points when they face Wolfsburg at the Allianz Arena. Star winger Arjen Robben is out injured but that should not stop the Bundesliga giants from taking all 3 points that will take them to the zenith of the log table.
2. Leicester City vs Liverpool:

Time: 5.30pm
Venue name: King Power Stadium
Referee: Anthony Taylor from England
Round: Matchday 6
Liverpool have failed to collect maximum point in their last four games at the King Power stadium. Also, coming from a 2-0 defeat in the Carabao cup this week, will the Reds seek revenge or will it be business as usual? I guess we will all find out soon.

3. Stoke City vs Chelsea
5 star matches to look up to this weekend in Europe
Date: Saturday, September 23, 2017
Time: 3pm
Venue name: Bet365 Stadium
Referee: Mike Dean from England
Round: Matchday 6
Ordinarily this should not be a tough encounter for Antonio Conte’s boys, coming from a home and away victory against the potters last season. But considering the fact that it was Stoke City that ended Manchester United 100% start to the season, we guess Chelsea will have to tread with caution, to avoid an upset at the Bet365 stadium.
4. Montpellier vs PSG
Montpellier vs Paris Saint Germain
Date: Saturday, September 23, 2017
Time: 4pm
Venue name: Stade de la Mosson
Referee: Clement Turpin from France
Round: 7
This game normally should be a problem for Les Parisiens considering the big names that were brought in the club last summer. However, while we expect PSG to get maximum points, all eyes will be on the chemistry between Neymar and Cavani considering the burst up between the pairs in their last encounter.

Date: Saturday, September 23, 2017
Time: 7.45pm
Venue name: Allianz Stadium
Referee: Piero Giacomelli from Italy
Round: Matchday 6
We are in for another Turin debut match and what will make this very exciting is the fact that both teams have maintained an unbeaten run to the current campaign.
In previous outings the Old ladies have gotten upper hand over their city rivals, will they maintain such feat in Saturday’s encounter at the Allianz stadium?
