Friday Forecast: Madrid derby underway; City face Spurs; Barca & Utd in action

Another weekend with several huge league clashes is coming as we bring you all you need to know ahead of it.

Real Madrid vs Atletico

Kick-Off: UTC 2020/02/01 15:00

Probable line-ups

Real Madrid focus

Ramos should be fully fit to start at centre-back alongside Raphael Varane this weekend.

Carvajal is back after suspension and should immediately feature at right-back for Los Blancos.

Isco could partner Karim Benzema up front, with Gareth Bale expected to take a seat on the bench.

Atletico focus

Trippier is recovering from a minor injury problem, but is expected to come back in at right-back for the away side.

Koke could be fit enough to start wide in midfield after picking up a hamstring injury in Supercopa action recently.

Cavani's arrival cannot come soon enough with club-record signing Joao Felix now ruled out through injury.

Whoscored prediction

Real Madrid 2-1 Atletico

Tottenham vs Manchester City

Kick-Off: UTC 2020/02/02 16:30

Probable line-ups

Tottenham focus

Ben Davies, Harry Kane and Moussa Sissoko all remain sidelined but Jose Mourinho has a stronger squad to choose from than in recent times, including new signing Steven Bergwijn.

The Dutchman is unlikely to be thrown straight into the starting XI but may well make a debut from the bench.

There is likely to be at least one change to the side that drew at Southampton in the cup, with Tanguy Ndombele back fit, though he too may have to wait to make his return if Mourinho adopts a defensive approach.

Man City focus

Guardiola is short of options at the back and fielded an experimental back three against United in midweek, consisting of two right-backs in Kyle Walker and Joao Cancelo.

Fernandinho, Aymeric Laporte and Benjamin Mendy are all doubts, so John Stones will hope for a chance to start having been overlooked on Wednesday.

It remains to be seen if Guardiola will persist with a back three, with changes expected from a disappointing performance in the cup.

Whoscored prediction

Tottenham 0-1 Man City 

Barcelona vs Levante

Kick-Off: UTC 2020/02/02 20:00

Probable line-ups

Barcelona focus

Setien could go with Antoine Griezmann wide on the left in a front three, with Lionel Messi leading the line.

Arthur is expected to be preferred to Arturo Vidal in the centre of midfield for the hosts.

Sergi Roberto and Samuel Umtiti should be continuing as first-choice defensive picks under their new coach.

Whoscored prediction

Barcelona 3-1 Levante 

Manchester United vs Wolverhampton Wanderers

Kick-Off: UTC 2020/02/01 17:30

Probable line-ups

Man Utd focus

Bruno Fernandes is expected to make his Manchester United debut once his transfer goes through on Thursday.

Nemanja Matic is suspended after his red card on Wednesday night and his absence will be a big loss for United, particularly with Paul Pogba and Scott McTominay still injured.

Daniel James should come back into the side after he was on the bench in midweek.

Whoscored prediction

Man Utd 1-1 Wolves

Juventus vs Fiorentina

Kick-Off: UTC 2020/02/02 11:30

Probable line-ups

Juventus focus

Ramsey is expected to start after being left on the bench last weekend, while Miralem Pjanic could miss this fixture due to injury.

Whoscored prediction

Juventus 2-0 Fiorentina

Leicester vs Chelsea

Kick-Off: UTC 2020/02/01 12:30

Probable line-ups

Leicester focus

Ndidi's return to fitness is a boost for Leicester boss Brendan Rodgers, who remains without Daniel Amartey and Nampalys Mendy.

Matty James is closing in on a return to fitness, but is unlikely to be fit to start here.

Vardy is expected to lead the line after coming on against Aston Villa on Tuesday night, while Dennis Praet, who was an unused sub at Villa Park, is set to get the nod ahead of Youri Tielemans.

Chelsea focus

Abraham, Reece James and Olivier Giroud, the latter of whom has been linked with a move away this month, will all be assessed.

However, Lampard is unable to call upon injured trio Marco van Ginkel, Christian Pulisic and Ruben Loftus-Cheek.

After a man of the match performance at Hull, Fikayo Tomori may get the nod to start alongside Antonio Rudiger at the heart of the Chelsea defence.

Whoscored prediction

Leicester 3-2 Chelsea

Liverpool vs Southampton

Kick-Off: UTC 2020/02/01 12:30

Probable line-ups

Liverpool focus

A hamstring injury will keep Sadio Mane out against former club Southampton on Saturday.

Divock Origi came off with cramp against West Ham in midweek and remains a doubt here.

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain may be pushed into the front three, with Fabinho due back in the team.

Adam Lallana, James Milner and Xherdan Shaqiri remain doubts.

Whoscored prediction

Liverpool 2-0 Southampton

Burnley vs Arsenal

Kick-Off: UTC 2020/02/02 14:00

Probable line-ups

Arsenal focus

David Luiz returns from suspension for Arsenal and is expected to replace the injured Shkodran Mustafi at the heart of the defence alongside Sokratis.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is also available following a ban and may lead the attack in place of Alexandre Lacazette.

Kieran Tierney, Reiss Nelson and Sead Kolasinac all sit out the trip to Turf Moor.

Whoscored prediction

Burnley 1-1 Arsenal
