EPL: Sunderland v Liverpool - live on ESPN at 17 10
Liverpool can be a bit relaxed after playing well against Chelsea n Villa. But Sunderland trip might be a tricky one as The Black Cats have already beaten Spurs. Sunderland boss Roy Keane has been dealt a huge blow by the news that skipper Dean Whitehead could be sidelined for a month by a knee injury. Paul McShane will be assessed ahead of the clash after having 10 stitches put in a head wound at Wigan last Saturday, while Grant Leadbitter could return from a hamstring problem, but Carlos Edwards (also hamstring) faces 3 to 4 weeks on the sidelines. Liverpool currently have only one injury problem with Gerrard likely to be rested this weekend. The Reds wont face much trouble in this relatively easier fixture.
Prediction: Sunderland 0 - 2 Liverpool

Other important EPL fixtures - Arsenal v Manchester City, Chelsea v Portsmouth

La Liga: Real Madrid v Athletico Madrid - live on Star Sports at 00 00(26 aug)
The new Liga season kicks off in a great way with d first match being d Madrid derby. Real hav spent over €120 million but have failed to impress in their pre season matches. Latest signings Heinze n Robben will not take part in d derby. Athletico too have made good signings but they havent beaten Real since Oct 1999. Real will also miss Higuain n Torres but Casillas may start. Sneijder n Drenthe are also likey to be in starting line up. Reyes will return to Bernabeu as an Athletico player. It will be a very close encounter. Real should avoid defeat to show that they can defend their title while Athletico will look to humiliate under pressure Real.
Prediction: Real Madrid 1 - 1 Athletico Madrid
