Domestic football is back with a bang this weekend, with Sky Sports at the forefront of the live action once more.
It all kicks off on Friday night live on Sky Sports as QPR make the journey north to Pride Park to take on Derby in good form, having won three of their last four league games.
Then, and this is no April Fool, the Merseyside derby kicks off the weekend's Premier League action on Saturday, with Everton looking in fine fettle since the last clash with their Stanley Park rivals. Liverpool's far superior derby record in recent times makes them firm favourites in the lunchtime encounter at Anfield. Coverage starts at 11:30am on Sky Sports 1 HD.
And that's not all on Saturday. There is a tantalising Sky Bet Championship clash between Reading and Leeds on the Saturday Night Football, three La Liga games, including a resurgent Atletico Madrid taking on Malaga at the Rosaleda, three MLS fixtures, Sparta Rotterdam against PSV Eindhoven in the Eredivisie and Guangzhou Evergrande's clash with Shanghai SIPG all live on Sky Sports.
Sunday is similarly crammed full of live matches. Sevilla do battle with La Liga strugglers Sporting Gijon in the day's first live match, before Hearts' SPFL clash with league leaders Celtic gets underway on Sky Sports Mix at 12.30pm.
Then, the focus returns to the Premier League, as Swansea take on Middlesbrough at the Liberty Stadium, in a match that could be crucial for both sides in their quest for top flight survival, live on Sky Sports 1 HD. Next up is the small matter of Arsenal's clash with Manchester City, also live on Sky Sports 1 HD, with the result set to have a major bearing on the top four.
There are four La Liga matches in total on Sunday, with Barcelona travelling to Andalusia to take on Granada in the day's final match from Spain. The action in the Netherlands hots up as Ajax's clash with great rivals Feyenoord completes an Eredivisie double header on Sky Sports 3 HD, while Coventry take on Oxford United in the Checkatrade Trophy to leave you completely spoilt for choice.
