SPAIN Primera Division Round 13 - Nov 30, 2008 - 21:00 CET: Atletico Madrid – Santander
Racing Santander have won three of their last four matches and they will be in confident mood as they travel to Atletico Madrid for the last match of the weekend.
Javier Aguirre has no major injury worries to contend with, bar Antonio López who is out until Christmas at least, so the Mexican should pick his strongest side for this match.
Racing will be without influential midfielder Juan Valera for this match as the Spaniard is currently on loan from Atlético Madrid. Apart from that loss they don’t have too many injury worries, although Muñiz may decide to change things around so soon after playing in Paris.
ENGLAND Premier League Round 15 - Nov 30, 2008 - 14:30 CET: ManchesterCity - Manchester United
For City Robinho (ankle) returns to the City fold after recovering from the injury he picked up against Arsenal. He is joined by Gelson Fernandes (hamstring) and Pablo Zabaleta (thigh). This game comes too early for Michael Johnson (groin) who is still a few weeks away from full fitness. Bulgarian pair Martin Petrov (knee) and Valeri Bojinov (calf) are both out until after the New Year.
For United Dimitar Berbatov (hamstring) has shaken off the injury he picked up on international duty two weeks ago and comes back into the United fold. He is joined by captain Gary Neville (groin). Paul Scholes (knee) was seen on the Carrington training pitch this week but hasn’t been considered for selection. Wes Brown (ankle) and Owen Hargreaves (knee) are still out.

ITALY Serie A Round 14 - Nov 29, 2008 – 20:30 CET: Juventus – Reggina
Following seven successive wins in both Europe and Serie A, Juve failed to make it a perfect eight when they crumbled at San Siro last week. Juve will need to beat Reggina if they are to keep in touch at the top of the table. A draw or even a loss could signal the end of their Scudetto race.
The good news at Vinovo this week has been the return to training for both Gianluigi Buffon and David Trezeguet. Both players worked on light running exercises as they try and find a way back to full fitness. Cristiano Zanetti, Hasan Salihamidzic and Christian Poulsen all worked in the gym. Jorge Andrade, Jonathan Zebina and Tiago Mendes are all on the long term injury list. Del Piero is likely to start alongside Amauri up front while Mauro Camoranesi will begin on the right. Alex Manninger keeps his place in goal.
Reggina coach Nevio Orlandi will not be able to rely Lanzaro, Giosa, Vigiani, Puggiani, Cascione and Valdez. Corradi, who scored a double last week is relegated to the bench to make room for Cozza who will be the lone ranger up front. No-one is suspended for Reggina.
