Big games in Cyprus, derby in Italy, easy schedule for Liverpool and Real Madrid!

Rich program on Saturday. Starting with Liverpool and ending with Real Madrid. In between there will be big games in Cyprus and Europe, with Juventus-Napoli standing out.

LIVERPOOL-BOURNEMOUTH (17:00)
Liverpool have made a dominant start to their Champions League campaign as they stormed through Milan against AC Milan. The Reds reacted immediately and effectively after the unexpected defeat to Forest and restored calm in the ranks of the team.
Liverpool go into the home game against Bornbooth in the right conditions and aim to continue winning.
The visitors were quite good and looked Chelsea in the eye, but were beaten 1-0 towards the end. At Anfield they will be looking for a surprise, although the conditions are very, very difficult.

ANORTHOSIS - OMONIA (19:00)
With the psychology in the sky... due to the explosive start in Europe and Cyprus, Omonia will travel to Larnaca to face Anorthosis.
Dambrauskas' side have three wins in as many games and will be hoping to extend their winning streak and remain at the top of the table.
They are favourites against Anorthosis, however nothing can be taken for granted. They will have to present themselves with the same seriousness and efficiency in order to continue winning.
Anorthosis are looking for their first win in order to gain some psychology and it would be a pleasure to achieve it in such a big game.

ARIS-APOLLON (19:00)
The first derby of the season will take place on Saturday night for Aris. The light brigade will host Apollon as the typical hosts in a match that is described as an "important test".
Spilefski's side are three out of three, but the wins have come against clearly inferior teams who are expected to fight for survival.
Apollon did not... show up after the restart and therefore no one can know how they will perform. The derby against AEL never started and Gula's players have the opportunity in an even more difficult game to show that they have the quality to claim the club's goals with merit.


JUVENTUS-NAPOLI (19:00)
A derby of hatred from the days of legend Diego Maradona. Juventus will host Napoli in one of this week's most intriguing games around the world.
The Big Lady beat Eindhoven in their Champions League opener and entertained impressions after a whitewash against Roma in the league, which was their first loss.
Napoli went to Turin buoyed by the winning streak they built up after their opening day loss to Verona. They beat Bologna, Parma and Cagliari in turn, results and performances that allow them to have a reasonable hope of winning against their big rival.

CRYSTAL PALACE-MANCHESTER UNITED (19:30)
Saturday's final Premier League game sees Manchester United tested at home to Crystal Palace and they will be aiming to build on last week's double at Southampton and midweek qualification for the next round of the cup.
The Red Devils go into the game with their spirits up in order to triumph, however they are well aware that there are no easy games in the world's top league.
The home side are looking for their first win in the league, after four games they have two draws and an equal number of defeats. Last Wednesday they also qualified for the next round of the cup after eliminating CPP.

ARIS THESSALONIKI - OLYMPIACOS PIREUS (20:00)
In the first derby of the year, Olympiacos Piraeus is called upon to bring out its best in order to return to its home base with the desired result. After the unexpected white draw with Pancerraikos at "G. Karaiskakis" travelled to Thessaloniki to face Aris.
Vangelis Marinakis has called for an immediate improvement and expects to see results in Harilaou.
On the other hand, Aris will look to make use of their home court in order to erase last week's defeat to OFI.
The Piraeus team is the favorite, but there are high hurdles that they will be asked to successfully overcome.


REAL MADRID - ESPANYOL (22:00)
They started the Champions League with a win, although they struggled mightily against Stuttgart. Real Madrid achieved their goal, and last week they got another important victory against Sociedad away from home.
The Queen is slowly finding its feet and against Espanyol it aims to achieve... a treble. They are in good form, they have great quality and they need to confirm their status as favourites against Espanyol.
The team from Barcelona beat Alaves last weekend and went to Madrid with the hidden hope of a surprise.
