Barcelona Vs Athletic Bilbao, Saturday 3.15pm
It’s here at last. Over two years on, Barcelona finally return to Camp Nou this weekend, albeit at not quite full capacity as renovation works continue on the famous old stadium.
What is clear is that this could be a key moment in their season.
Top Of La Liga:
Position | Team | Played | Points |
1 | Real Madrid | 12 | 31 |
2 | Barcelona | 12 | 28 |
Though home form has been good at Montjuic (and, briefly, the Estadio Johan Cruijff), the boost of going home will be an enormous lift in terms of atmosphere, and start to alleviate some of their financial issues.
Athletic are flattered by their seventh place in La Liga and are really struggling for goals (12 scored in 12 games) so it is hard to see them making an impact here.

Andy Brassell's Weekend Tips:
- Selection 1: Barcelona To Beat Athletic Bilbao To Nil - 13/10 With Grosvenor
- Selection 2: Cremonese Vs Roma: Under 2.5 Total Goals - 4/6 With Grosvenor
- Selection 3: Arsenal Vs Tottenham: Tottenham/Draw Double - 19/10 With Grosvenor
Cremonese Vs Roma, Sunday 2pm
This is the sort of game that Roma need to be able to eke out a win from if they are to be considered genuine title contenders – though that remains an ‘if’ with a third of the season gone and Gian Piero Gasperini’s charges level on points with Inter at the summit.
Perhaps surprisingly, under the former Atalanta boss, their success is built on solidity (with only five goals conceded).
Top Of Serie A:
Position | Team | Played | Points | GD |
1 | Inter | 11 | 24 | +14 |
2 | Roma | 11 | 24 | +7 |
However, they have scored just 12 times in 11 games and have a raft of injuries to attackers, including Paulo Dybala and Artem Dovbyk.
Cremonese’s start to life in Serie A has been very good, though they have the same goals total as Roma - two of which have been by Jamie Vardy in his last four matches.

Arsenal Vs Tottenham, Sunday 4.30pm
One win in the last four for Tottenham ahead of crossing north London to face perhaps the best team in Europe should lead us to only one conclusion, shouldn’t it? Maybe.
Spurs will be delighted to be on the road as they resume their campaign with their continued struggles at home.
Thomas Frank’s side are fifth, which owes everything to them being statistically the best away side in the Premier League, and they are yet to lose on their travels.
GAME STATS:
Arsenal have taken 13 points from 5 home games
Tottenham have taken 13 points from 5 away games
The loss of Gabriel to injury will be a major element for Arsenal to contend with as well, not least in weakening their threat from attacking set-pieces.
Andy's Panel Selection 3: Arsenal Vs Tottenham: Tottenham/Draw Double - 19/10 With Grosvenor
Andy's weekend treble pays out at around 10/1 with Grosvenor.
