Tracker: Wolfsburg thrashing Leipzig as Leverkusen lead in Bundesliga

After a hectic few days of European action, there are plenty of huge domestic matches this weekend as teams look to gain valuable momentum ahead of the busy festive period.

16:10 CET – The Premier League is underway for the afternoon! Three early goals see Bournemouth 2-1 ahead away to Wolves in a crazy start to that one, otherwise, it remains 0-0 across the grounds.

15:55 CET – The first shock of the weekend and third winless LaLiga game in a row for Barcelona.

Hansi Flick’s side have been plagued by injury problems but their losses to sides near the bottom of the league will be a concern to Flick. The three points for Las Palmas opens the door for Real Madrid to go top of LaLiga if they win their two games in hand. Does anyone want to win this title?
