The English would say “Super Sunday”, but this Sunday will not only be spectacular on the Island, but also in Italy and the Netherlands.

A day to enjoy, a day for derbies from North London, through Amsterdam, to Milan and Rome - many important decisions could be made on Sunday.

Italy will be particularly excited, where those who are not at the "Olimpic" and "Giuseppe Meazza" will be "glued" to the TV from 18 pm to almost 23 pm, with the derbies Milan - Inter (18 pm) and Roma - Napoli (20.45 pm). It will also be exciting in England when Arsenal welcomes Manchester City (17.30 pm), as well as at the "Cruyff Arena" in the big derby between Ajax and Feyenoord (14.30 pm).

DERBI DELA MADONINA I DERBI SUNCA

Napoli and Inter at the top of Serie A are facing a 23rd round and big challenges. Antonio Conte's team, which has won seven games in a row, are away to Roma in the Derby della Madonnina, while the Italian champions are seeking revenge against their big city rival and the team they last lost to in the championship in the Derby della Madonnina.

Simone Inzaghi's team are unbeaten in the championship for 16 rounds, and since the aforementioned first derby against Milan, they have only suffered two defeats in all competitions - against Bayer Leverkusen in the Champions League and again against the Rossoneri in the Super Cup final.

Continuing the battle for the Scudetto and revenge on a great rival - it seems that the motive could not be greater for the "Nerazur".

- We know the quality of the team we are playing against - the first two derbies did not go well. In the first, Milan played well, and in the second we were in control, but we had to be better in key moments. This time we will have to be right in the finals - said Inzaghi, who also added that Hakan Calhanoglu and Francesco Acerbi could be ready for the big match.

On the other hand, Milan are 16 points behind Inter, but have won two games against their big rivals for the first time since 2011. In addition, Sergio Conceição, who recently took over at the Rossoneri, could become the first coach since Massimiliano Allegri to win their first two Milan derbies.

- I played against Inter and with Porto and it hasn't changed much, but every team has weaknesses - we just need to find them - said the Portuguese expert, who wore the Inter jersey as a player.

Napoli will not have an easy job in Rome either, especially because of one man.

- Claudio Ranieri has made it a completely different team now, plus the fans will carry them. However, we want to continue playing well - stressed Conte.

CITY AND FEYNORD WANT TO COMPLICATE THEIR RIVALS' LIVES

The way things are going in the Premier League this season, Manchester City are not the favourites against Arsenal. The four-time champions have struggled a lot, with a game in hand and a 12-point gap to leaders Liverpool, while Arsenal are six points behind in second place. However, Pep Guardiola's side have looked much better recently.

- Their form doesn't change the fact that it's a big game, and I think a win would be a big boost and motivation for us going into the rest of the championship - stressed Mikel Arteta, Arsenal coach.

If his team did not win, it would be a big step backwards in the championship race with Liverpool.

It may not be as glamorous in European terms as the three games mentioned above, but the Dutch Classic is always a spectacle. This time, Ajax is in a much better position, and with a win, they could move within a point of leaders PSV.

However, Feyenoord, which is nine points behind its rivals from Amsterdam, has its own calculations to play in the Champions League next season.
