A pair of bitter and historic English Premier League rivalries highlight the weekend calendar of televised games from Europe, while teams in Spain and Italy will continue to jockey for position atop their respective league tables. EPL: When crosstown teams clash in any sport, the standings are often irrelevant. But when the teams are 1-2 in the table — as are Manchester City and Manchester United — there is more than bragging rights at stake. Barcelona, meanwhile, will be out to extend that margin when it travels to Villarreal on Sunday (BeIN Sports, 11:35 a.m). Another win Saturday, over league-leading Inter Milan (BeIN Sports, 11:30 a.m.) in Turin, would move them into first place for the first time in more than three months.
