ENGLAND

The Premier League's fifth round opens with a clash of last season's top scorers when Mohamed Salah's Liverpool travel to Harry Kane's Tottenham. Salah claimed the Golden Boot in May with 32 goals, two more than Kane.

In a slugging start to the season, Salah and Kane only have two each going into today's game at Wembley Stadium. A perfect start to the season shows Liverpool have not been as reliant on Salah, but Tottenham slumped to their first loss at Watford before the international break on a day when Kane could not find the net.

Watford have made a surprisingly sprightly start to the season. The club's 100 percent record is on the line today against a Manchester United side which has collected six points from a possible 12.

Chelsea, which have four wins out of four like Liverpool and Watford, host Cardiff on today. Cardiff are one of five teams without a win so far. West Ham have not even collected a point heading into tomorrow's game against Everton.

ITALY

Cristiano Ronaldo continues his pursuit of his first Serie A goal when Juventus hosts Sassuolo tomorrow.

Ronaldo has not found the net in his first three matches in Italy. Although he also did not score until his fourth league match with Real Madrid last season, the forward did score in other competitions for the Spanish club during that span.

Ronaldo did not play for Portugal during the international break, so he could focus on training with Juventus.

Sassuolo, who sit second, two points behind Juventus, have been boosted by the arrival of Kevin-Prince Boateng, who has scored two goals in three matches.

The weekend's most attractive match could be tomorrow when last season's runner-up Napoli host Fiorentina, which have made a perfect start.

Besides Juventus, Fiorentina are the only other club with a perfect record, although the Tuscan team has played one fewer match since their opener against Sampdoria was postponed until next week. Fiorentina have scored seven goals and conceded one. Napoli are looking to bounce back from a 3-0 loss at Sampdoria.

SPAIN

Barcelona and Real Madrid will chase a fourth victory in as many matches when they visit clubs in the northern Basque Country today.

Barcelona visit Real Sociedad, which have caused the Catalan club trouble in recent years. Barcelona had to come back from two goals down to win 4-2 last year for their first win at Anoeta Stadium since 2007.

Madrid play at Athletic Bilbao, who have not played a match since August 28 due to the international break, and the postponement of their Round 3 match at Rayo Vallecano because of the poor state of Rayo's stadium.

Atletico Madrid, last year's runner-up, host Eibar today, needing a win to make sure they do not fall further behind the co-leaders. After just one victory, Diego Simeone's side is five points adrift in 10th place.

Celta Vigo aim to extend their strong start under new coach Antonio Mohamed when they visit Girona on Monday. Celta are third after two wins and a draw.

GERMANY

Four teams, including Schalke and Bayer Leverkusen, are looking for their first points.

Schalke, runners-up last season, play Borussia Moenchengladbach aiming to avoid a third successive loss.

'Gladbach have a wealth of options in attack with Thorgan Hazard, Patrick Herrmann, Raffael, Ibrahima Traore and new signing Alassane Plea, who marked his debut with a hat trick in the German Cup.

Leverkusen play earlier Saturday at Bayern Munich, which have made a perfect start to their title defence.

Wolfsburg and Hertha Berlin have also won two out of two and meet today.
