Every Friday, I pick for you the best or most exciting games not to be missed in the world of football each weekend. From derbies to top-of-the-table clashes, relegation six-pointers to world-class players facing each other or other interesting tactical battles, there will be something for everyone to enjoy.<\/p>\n
This week, we take you to England, Spain, Italy and Germany for the return of the Premier League<\/a>, two huge derbies, some Championship battles, top-of-the-table clashes and big fights for European places.<\/p>\n After losses either side of the international break — against Man City in the Carabao Cup final and at Southampton in the FA Cup — Arsenal bounced back with a win away at Sporting CP<\/a> in the Champions League quarterfinal first leg. It was not pretty, with Kai Havertz<\/a> scoring deep in second-half injury time, but it was badly needed.<\/p>\n It’s not as if the Gunners and Mikel Arteta were in panic mode after back-to-back cup defeats, but they used the midweek trip to Lisbon to re-establish their authority. It was an efficient, solid, controlling victory, and that’s all that mattered. Now they go back to Premier League life, at home against Bournemouth, as the table toppers and with a nine-point gap over City (though Pep Guardiola’s side still have a game in hand). Beating Bournemouth would give them a 12-point lead before City face a tricky trip to Chelsea<\/a> on Sunday, and Arteta will be hoping that some of his injured players (Bukayo Saka<\/a>, Eberechi Eze<\/a>, Jurri\u00ebn Timber<\/a>, Piero Hincapi\u00e9<\/a>) could be back.<\/p>\n![\"Bournemouth](\"https:\/\/a.espncdn.com\/combiner\/i?img=\/i\/teamlogos\/soccer\/500\/349.png&w=126&site=espnfc\")
