Last season's English Premier League champions, Leicester City suffered their first defeat in their opening encounter of the new campaign and face an even sterner test in their next match. The Foxes host Arsenal, who will also be seeking their first win after they were beaten at home to Liverpool. The clash takes places at the King Power Stadium on Saturday.
Real Madrid travel to the Anoeta Stadium on Sunday evening as they face off against Real Sociedad in their first league encounter of the new season. Zinedine Zidane's troops will be looking to salvage all three points on offer, however, Sociedad will be hoping that they can pull off an early upset against one of La Liga's big boys.
On Sunday evening the Stadio Marc'Antonio Bentegodi Stadium will host the clash between Chievo Verona and Inter Milan. Inter's form in recent times has not been up to par and Verona will seek to make the most of their home advantage, considering Inter have also had a change of management prior to the start of the season.

Leicester v Arsenal (Premier League)
League rankings: Leicester 14th Arsenal 13th
Useful facts: Last season's champions come up against the runners-up, Arsenal, who conceded four times in their loss to Liverpool, but Leicester's defeat to struggling Hull may have hurt even more. However, Leicester are undefeated in their last 15 home games and Arsenal have drawn their last three Premier League games away from home. In the North Londoner's favour, however, is their record of four wins and not a single loss in their last six games against The Foxes.
James Keene: Draw.
Real Sociedad v Real Madrid (La Liga)
League rankings: Real Madrid 2nd Real Sociedad 9th (2015/16 season)
Useful facts: La Liga gets underway this weekend with Zinedine Zidane's team taking on Real Sociedad in what normally turns out to be an exciting encounter. In the last six games between the two, 26 goals have been scored, with Los Blancos coming away with five wins. What will give last season's runners-up even more confidence is that they are on the back of a 15-match winning streak in the league going back to last season, as they look to claim their first league title since 2012.
James Keene:Real Madrid.
Chievo Verona v Inter Milan (Serie A)
League rankings: Chievo Verona 9th Inter Milan 4th (2015/16 season)
Useful facts: The Italian league also gets underway this weekend, with new Inter Milan coach Frank de Boer will be looking to make his mark. However, the last six games between these teams have seen only nine goals scored in typically cagey affairs, with Inter winning three times and Chievo winning once. However, Inter's recent run of form doesn't bode too well, with the 2010 European Champions having lost all of their last three away games in the league. Chievo are also undefeated in their last eight league games, which makes the game especially hard to call.
James Keene: Inter Milan.
