promising weekend.

highlight of the premier league being rejuvenated arsenal taking on the wobbling manchester city. with their city rivals at home to qpr - the pressure's on city to get a result at the emirates.

other highlights of the premier league weekend include sunderland vs. spurs, wolves travelling to a stoke team already in end-of-season mode, and liverpool hosting a stumbling aston villa side.

elsewhere in england, it's the south coast derby, and jordan rhodes hosts sheffield wednesday, hoping to serve up a match even better than the eight-goal spectacular at hillsborough in december. crisis club preston celebrate sir tom finney's 90th birthday by taking on the mk dons.

psg vs. marseille, ac milan vs. fiorentina, braga vs. porto and real madrid vs. valencia are the continent's weekend highlights.

montreal and toronto contest a derby match that isn't habs vs. leafs in their inaugural mls matchup. let's hope the fare served up is better than the hockey teams have been dishing out to their loyal supporters this year.
