The international break is finally over, with players and managers immediately returning to the grind of club football. The fans two-week long wait might well be worth it, as this weekend presents a tasty line-up of fixtures across Europe, including two derbies and an old English rivalry that has been sprinkled with extra spice.Here is the ESPN guide to your football weekend ahead.Saturday, November 191800 IST: Manchester United v Arsenal, Old Trafford(Star Sports Select HD1)Jose Mourinho has never lost a Premier League match against Arsenal during all his time in England. Manchester United themselves have not lost to Arsenal at home since 2006. Form and history, though, often go for a toss when it comes to clashes like this.United-Arsenal matches have lacked passion and intensity in recent years, but with an under-pressure Mourinho facing up against a manager he once infamously called a specialist in failure, more than a few sparks can be expected.?

Bayern have had the edge in recent meetings between the two sides, but Dortmund are more than capable of taking down any team on any given day with their high-energy, high-pressing counterattacks.Dortmund have got Mario Gotze back from Munich, but their long-time captain Mats Hummels went the other way during the summer. The hosts will also be wary of the threat posed by one Robert Lewandowski, who has steered both these teams to the Bundesliga title in recent seasons.Also see:Honigstein: Fear factor for Bayern, DortmundBayerns Boateng ready to face DortmundSunday, November 201:15 IST: Atletico Madrid v Real Madrid, Vicente Calderon(Sony Six, Sony Six HD, and ESPN.in)It speaks volumes of the work done by Diego Simeone that these days Atletico Madrid actually go into games against Real Madrid expected to win. Real, in fact, have not got three points against Atletico in the league since 2013. But they have consigned Simeone to the two most crushing defeats of his career, and Atletico will be hell-bent on avenging their Champions League final defeats of 2014 and 2016 -- in this, the last Madrid derby at the Vicente Calderon stadium.With Cristiano Ronaldo, Gareth Bale, Pepe, Sergio Ramos, Antoine Griezmann and Diego Godin all taking to the field, expect goals, crunching tackles, more than one card and Simeone bursting a vein on the sidelines.You can stream the entire game live and exclusive right here on ESPN.in.Also see:Zidane should prepare for Simeones trickeryAtletico, Real set for Calderon derbyMonday, November 211:30 IST: AC Milan v Inter Milan, San Siro(Sony Six and Sony Six HD)AC Milan and Inter Milan have both declined in recent years, but there is plenty at stake -- not the least of which is bragging rights -- when the two teams meet on Monday. This season Milan have made a bright start and find themselves only five points behind the leaders Juventus.Inter, though, have had a turbulent campaign, having to sack their head coach Frank de Boer after just 11 league matches. They are currently limping at ninth in the table and will be hoping that the likes of top-scorer Mauro Icardi and Ivan Perisic can give them a much-needed lift.Also see:Bergkamp: De Boers lack of invention may have cost himWalter Samuels joins Inters backroom staff Wholesale Chicago Bears Jerseys . After Mondays hard-fought loss, the wait seemed longer than usual.

The Bottom 10 Inspirational Thought of the Week:Oh gently please, Wont you take your time with me? Oh gently please, Stop talking bout dying like havent tried it.All the things, the things I thought Id seen. Sure didnt see that coming.-- Didnt See That Coming Taking Back SundayHere at Bottom 10 headquarters, located along the shoreline of the reservoir where Tom Rinaldi collects our tears, our offices were empty over the weekend. Why? I was on the road in South Florida. Officially, I was there to cover the NASCAR season finale. Well, thats what I told my bosses so theyd pay for my plane ticket. In reality, I was there to sneak up to FI(not A)U. The Golden Panthers, having just hired new head coach Butch Davis, were hosting the Marshall Blundering Herd.As I arrived, Ill admit that I was a bit nervous, and not just because of the tailgaters I saw trying to set a Port-a-John on fire. You see, both FIU and Marshall have been in the Bottom 10 this season. So, would I be greeted with a slap to the face? Two slaps to the face? Would I be thrown out of the press box? Would I be angrily driven out into the middle of the Everglades and dumped overboard where only David Caruso, with his Who soundtrack, might find me?None of that happened. Instead, I was greeted with smiles. I even received one hug. The FIU athletic staff handed me a stat sheet and a free sandwich as a Marshall official said, No, we dont like being on the list. We didnt see that coming this year. But when we get it turned around, you wont see us coming.As we chatted, a TV was on in the corner. On it we saw ... wait. Was that? It couldnt be? ... Yes, Kansas was tearing down a goalpost! The Nayhawks, the odds-on favorite to win the Bottom 10 title with only two games remaining, had just beaten Texas for the first time since 1938.Right on cue, an FIU employee spoke up. I guarantee you no one saw that coming.With apologies to Sonny Crockett and Steve Harvey, heres this weeks Bottom 10.1. Fres-no State (1-10) The good news? Jeff Tedford already is hard at work to improve the program for 2017. The bad news? The Captain America super-soldier serum is still lost, so rebuilding might take a while. Saturday brings the Pillow Fight of the Week, as Rivalry Week brings us Fresno hosting San Jose State in the Mountain West Western Warfare, presented by HBOs Westworld.2. In a Rut-gers (2-9) The Scarlet Knights have lost to Ohio State, Michigan, Michigan State and Penn State by a combined 224-0. This weekend brings a date with Maryland in the Big Ten Thanksgiving Go Sit At The Kids Table Classic, presented by Lunchables.3. Texas State Armadillos (2-8) Fans of the Arma...er, Bobcats, are all like, Yeah. OK, Rutgers. You got shut out four times. Whatever. Did you give up 50 to New Mexico State? Then they drop the mic ? onto their toe and have to go to the Bobcats Stadium infirmary ... only to discover their entire defense is already there. This week Texas State University hosts the Artist Formerly Known as Troy State University in the TSUnami Classic presented by the 25th aanniversary edition of Paramount Pictures Necessary Roughness.dddddddddddd4. Arizon-ugh (2-9) In the Pac-12 Pillow Fight of the Year, the Wildcats fell to Ore-gone State, whose previous wins came versus Idaho State and Cal. On Friday night, Arizona hosts Arizona State in a matchup of the two worst teams in the Pac-12 South in the Stop Acting Like You Are So Much Better Than Us And Pay Us Some Attention Because You Would Be Nothing Without Us Classic presented by my ex-girlfriend.5. Texas (5-6) With Black Friday coming up, heres a handy gift idea for any Longhorns fans looking to get an early jump on their holiday shopping ...6. UMess (2-9) The Minutemen fell at BYU and never unpacked their bags, immediately jumping on a plane to face Hawaii in the Frequent Flier Miles Throwdown. The winner receives a tricorn hat decorated with tropical flowers and a box of Dramamine.7. Buffalo Bills, er Bulls (2-9) This week I filed a grievance with my bosses at ESPN asking why Buffalo didnt receive equal time during College GameDays visit to Western Michigan. In return I received an interoffice mail packet filled with Rece Davis snow-dampened desk papers. Speaking of slipping and falling on ice, the Bills, er, Bulls, will close their season with a trip to Bowling Green to close out the Bottom 10 gauntlet that has been the MAC East.8. Kansas Nayhawks (2-9) Kansas reward for defeating Texas is a trip to Kansas State for the No Place Like Home Yellow Brick Crossroads Clash. The winners will receive ruby cleats and prior to the game K-State head coach Bill Snyder will share his memories of dating Judy Garland in high school.9. EC-Yew (3-8) The Pirates started the season 2-0 with wins over Western Carolina and NC State. They are 1-8 since. Now they end their shockingly disappointing year at Temple in the Battle of I-95 presented the ACME Orange Road Barrel Corporation. Tradition states that if Temple loses it must change its mascot from an owl to a parrot until next season. If ECU loses then Pee Dee the Pirate must wear a stuffed owl on his shoulder until next fall.10. UTEP Minors (3-8) Three weeks ago FAU and Rice were ranked 1-2 in the Bottom 10. In the past two weeks UTEP has lost to them both. This weekend Texas El Paso hosts North Texas in the Were Both Pretty Bad But Hey Look So Is Texas Bowl, sponsored by the Mack Brown Foundation. The original plan was to award the winner a miners pick axe in the spirit of other axe-wielding rivalries such as Stanford-Cal and Minnesota-Wisconsin. Unfortunately Paydirt Pete accidentally stuck it into Scrappy the Eagles claw. So instead the winner will receive Charlie Strongs personal effects once they are cleared out of his office in Austin.Waiting list: Rice (3-8), FA(not I)U (3-8), Marshall Blundering Herd (3-8), State of Kent (3-8), Bowling Green (3-8), Pur-dont (3-8), UV-ugh (2-9), telling everyone youve fired the coach except for the coach you are firing.
