Proceeding its close win over West Ham on Wednesday night, the Manchester United squad is hoping to make it three straight when they take on Reading at Madejksi Stadium. After the last game's outcome, Man United currently remains on top in the Premier League tables with 33 points while being defeated only three times.

The Merseyside derby between Liverpool and Everton has been coined as the "dirtiest game" after 20 players were sent-off in the last fifteen years. On Oct. 28, the intense rivalry between the two football clubs will once again be renewed. Everton ended up finishing ahead of Liverpool in last season's standings and have also gotten off to a far better start than their opponent.

In the third week of Europa League group action, Liverpool will be hosting Anzhi Makhachkala in Anfield in what should be a fairly matched game. The Reds have had an inconsistent start in both League and European competition as they continue to adapt to the management style of Brendan Rogers. However, Anzhi has been performing extremely well in domestic football. The club is currently on top in both the Russian and European leagues.

Inter Milan will be looking to cement their lead at the top of Group H when they host Partizan Belgrade on Thursday in 2012 UEFA Europa League play. In their last two matchups, the Italians pulled out a 3-1 victory on the road and came out of a home battle against Rubin Kazan with a 2-2 tie. After receiving only one point out of a possible six, Partizan currently has the odds stacked against them, especially since they haven't performed well on the road. In their last two away matches in European competition, they've lost to both Tromso and Rubin Kazan.
