European Football Schedule: Focus on Man Utd-Liverpool
Not yet over the sadness after losing 1-4 to Man City in the Premier League, Manchester United must face another big challenge in the League Cup, when they have to enter a "big battle" with Liverpool.
This is also the second time this season that the Red Devils and The Kop have met. In the previous confrontation, Liverpool won 1-0 thanks to the only goal of Daniel Sturridge.

The "war" will be an opportunity for Manchester United to repay the debt they owe to their arch-rival. However, with their current form, coach David Moyes and his team may have to suffer another defeat.
Remember, since the beginning of the season, the Red Devils have entered three big matches in the Premier League but only had one draw against Chelsea, the rest were 0-1 defeats against Liverpool and 1-4 defeats against Manchester City.
In contrast to the "fate" of Manchester United and Chelsea, the "big guys" like Chelsea, Man City or Arsenal only have to face weaker teams. Among these three teams, Chelsea is considered to have an easy time as they only have to face the second division team Swindon Town.
In addition to the League Cup, midweek European football also features many matches from national championships such as Serie A, Liga and Ligue 1.
In La Liga, Barcelona will host the tough Real Sociedad. After 5 rounds, the Nou Camp team is winning all the matches and is struggling to stay at the top while Sociedad has only won 6 points - a very poor result for a team that has qualified for the Champions League.
In this round, Real Madrid will visit the field of the rookie team Elche. Real is ranked 3rd with 13 points while Elche has only 3 points.
