Club Brugge will once again be without Bjorn Meijer, Simon Mignolet, Ludovit Reis and Raphael Onyedika, all sidelined through injury. Nordin Jackers is expected to continue in goal, while Christos Tzolis will feature in attack after an impressive campaign that has seen him record eight goals and eight assists in 21 appearances. Nicolo Tresoldi is set to lead the line, having contributed six goals and three assists so far this season.

They only had four minutes left Sunday in what figured to serve as their most lopsided and stress-free win all season. They were up 17 points, then down went Mykel Williams. It's feared he tore his anterior cruciate ligament, and Williams instantly knew its severity as he reached for his right knee and banged his hands against his helmet while on his back on the MetLife Stadium's ever-suspect synthetic turf. He now follows the hobbled footsteps of fellow defensive ends Nick Bosa (ACL tear), Bryce Huff (hamstring) and Yetur Gross-Matos (hamstring).

And to think Christian McCaffrey was the guy everyone was worried about. After having his 2024 season ruined by bilateral Achilles tendinitis and a PCL strain, there was plenty of concern whether McCaffrey's football age was more than his biological age of 29. Surely it was time to start sharing the load and reduce the carries and receptions to maximize whatever he had left to give.

WELCOME TO THE MONTJUÏC OLYMPIC STADIUM!!! The beautiful temporary home of the world's greatest football club is the site of a big La Liga game between visitors Elche and Barcelona, who come into this one looking to bounce back from last week's El Clasico defeat and return to winning ways, but it won't be easy as Barça struggle with key injuries against an Elche side off to a sensational start as a newly-promoted club this season.

Starting with the hosts, marking their return from October's international break with a gritty 1-0 victory away at historic rivals Roma, Inter Milan watched their title dreams take a real dent over the weekend. Eventually falling to a 3-1 loss at the hands of defending Serie A champions Napoli, it has been suggested that new boss Cristian Chivu already has some mounting pressure on his shoulders at the San Siro. However, despite opening Wednesday's return to Milan sat down in fourth-place, the former Parma manager has seen his squad win each of their other seven appearances across all competitions.

The Rangers gifted San Jose their first win of the season, more wins than the Rangers have at MSG this year, with poor and sloppy play. Now with Matt Rempe joining Vincent Trocheck on the injured list, Brennan Othmann has been recalled to hopefully inject some life into this listless offense. Othmann will join Will Cuylle in flanking Noah Laba for a line that should be fun to watch.

Tottenham will aim to move second in the Premier League at home to a Chelsea side three points behind them on Saturday. Thomas Frank's team are alone in being yet to lose away in the top flight this season but have taken one point from their last three league home matches, spurning a lead to lose 2-1 to visitors Aston Villa on October 19.
