Manchester derby headlines this week's seven must-watch TV games

Another stacked fixture list awaits this week with several big games across multiple competitions around Europe.

To help you along, we have picked out the seven televised matches worth clearing your diary for.

Monday, February 26 — Coventry vs Maidstone (ITV4, 7.45pm)

Anybody who watched Maidstone stun Ipswich at Portman Road in the FA Cup fourth round will not want to miss them having another stab at glory against Coventry.

The Stones are already the first sixth-tier team to reach this stage of the competition since Blyth Spartans in 1978 and will hope the magic of the cup is on their side once more.

Tuesday, February 27 — Luton vs Manchester City (ITV1, 8pm)

Manchester City must survive a tricky FA Cup trip to Kenilworth Road to keep their defence of the Treble alive.

City looked leggy in the 1-0 win at Bournemouth last Saturday and will not be given an easy ride by Luton.

Wednesday, February 28 — Liverpool vs Southampton (ITV1, 8pm)

Jurgen Klopp admitted he has no idea how injury-hit Liverpool will line up for this FA Cup tie against Southampton after they finished their Carabao Cup final victory over Chelsea with several youngsters on the pitch.

The Saints have lost form at just the wrong moment in the Championship automatic promotion race but will still fancy their chances of taking a major scalp on Wednesday.

Saturday, March 2 — Luton vs Aston Villa (Sky Sports, 5.30pm)

Luton are back in action on Saturday evening, finally aiming to topple one of the Premier League's top sides at Kenilworth Road.

They have drawn with Liverpool and lost by one-goal margins to Man City, Arsenal, Tottenham, Manchester United and Chelsea this season — going one better against Aston Villa would be huge for their chances of survival.

Sunday, March 3 — FC Cologne vs Bayer Leverkusen (Sky Sports, 2.30pm)

Bayer Leverkusen have been flawless in recent weeks but may have had their eight-point Bundesliga lead cut to five by the time this game kicks off, with Bayern Munich playing at Freiburg on Friday.

Responding with a win would be the latest sign Xabi Alonso's side are likely to hold their nerve in the title race.

Sunday, March 3 — Manchester City vs Manchester United (Sky Sports, 3pm)

The Manchester derby tops the billing on Super Sunday, with United aiming to improve a run of five defeats in six against their rivals.

City will be responding to Liverpool's result the day before and could well need three points to keep in touch with the Reds.

Sunday, March 3 — Leicester vs Chelsea (Sky Sports, 6pm)

The Women's Super League title race is well and truly alive after Manchester City drew level on points with Chelsea last time out by winning 1-0 at Kingsmeadow.

Emma Hayes' side could easily sit second by the time this match kicks off — with the Citizens hosting Everton on Saturday — so the pressure will be on against Leicester.
