No sooner are we done with the week’s continental action, than it’s time to look ahead to the weekend in the league. Sunday sees the year’s first ‘Big Five’ clásico, as Ramón Díaz returns once again to the Monumental, and will be hoping his team can finally score a goal. Early pace-setters Vélez host Banfield, whilst Newell’s have a difficult task in keeping up their good start - they visit Estudiantes, who along with Vélez and San Martín have won their first two matches.
Kick off times are local - add two hours for Greenwich Mean Time.
