It used to be the Premier League fixture that every neutral had their eyes on, however, its sparkle began to fade when Arsenal stopped being title contenders a couple of years after their ‘Invincibles’ season in 2003/04.However, there have been some almighty clashes which included numerous heated duels between Patrick Vieira and Roy Keane, one happening in the tunnel before Arsenal played United at Highbury in February 2005.It all boiled over in the Old Trafford fixture earlier that season when Ruud van Nistelrooy missed the chance to grab a last-minute winner after striking a penalty against the crossbar sparking an ambush from the Arsenal players at the end of the game.10Liverpool vs Manchester United
This really has stood the test of time and even though Liverpool have not been regular challengers for Premier League titles, their rivalry with Manchester United is regarded by many as the biggest fixture in English football.It reached another level when United entered a golden age during the Premier League era and “knocked Liverpool off their f****** perch” as Sir Alex Ferguson put it, by eventually eclipsing their rivals on Merseyside for league titles. The Red Devils currently have 20 to Liverpool’s 18.10Inter Milan vs Juventus
All the big teams in Italy want to beat each other but it is understood Inter Milan and Juventus’ rivalry, known as the Derby d’Italia, really went up another gear following the Calciopoli scandal in 2006.The scandal was a very complex issue but in a nut shell it was an investigation by Italian police that implicated Juve, AC Milan, Lazio and Reggina which saw them accused of rigging games by selecting favourable referees.10Manchester United vs Leeds United
There aren’t many recent clashes to talk about between Manchester United and Leeds with their last meeting a League Cup tie in September 2011, the rivalry is genuine.It’s thought it goes as far back as the 15th century with Yorkshire and Lancashire in conflict during the War of the Roses.Other factors are from the days when Don Revie and Matt Busby managed Leeds and Manchester United respectively as well as the hooliganism wars groups of supporters from both teams used to have have also contributed to the fierce rivalry.10Crystal Palace vs Brighton & Hove Albion
This is a rivalry that confuses fans who do not support either Crystal Palace and Brighton but it’s very clear to both sets of supporters why it exists.The flashpoint was at the end of a second FA Cup replay held at a neutral venue between the two teams in 1976 which Palace won 1-0.After the game finished, a Palace fan allegedly chucked some tea at Seagulls boss at the time Alan Mullery, prompting the former England international to chuck some loose change on the floor and shout “that’s all you’re worth”.Palace and Brighton’s last meeting in December saw Eagles fans clash with police before the game. They play at Selhurst Park for the return fixture on Saturday at 3pm – a game you can listen to live on talkSPORT.10Manchester City vs Chelsea
This is a reasonably new rivalry as they are both teams which have enjoyed relatively new success due to the huge finances that have become available to them.Chelsea have won the most trophies of any English team since Roman Abramovich bought the club in 2003 but City have every chance of overtaking them so the rivalry has spilled out on the pitch.Sergio Aguero and David Luiz have had a number of confrontations on the pitch and City striker Aguero received a red card for a high challenge on the Brazilian during a clash at the Etihad Stadium in December 2016.10Ajax vs Feyenoord
In any walk of life, conflict can often be boiled down to class antagonism and this is certainly the case between Ajax and Feyenoord’s rivalry, known as De Klassieker.The artistry and more middle-class roots of Ajax Amsterdam versus the workers and thus more working-class roots of Feyenoord in Rotterdam has led to many conflicts between the two sets of supporters over the years.It got so bad that the mayors of Amsterdam and Rotterdam did a deal with the Royal Dutch Football Association (KNVB) to ban visiting fans from away games for five years from February 2009.10Liverpool vs Chelsea
Another fairly new rivalry which really hit its heights when Rafael Benitez managed Liverpool and Jose Mourinho was in charge of Chelsea.The two teams played out some memorable encounters in the Champions League – Benitez getting the better of Mourinho in 2005 and 2007 before Chelsea got their revenge in 2008 and 2009.There was also the transfer saga of Steven Gerrard, who looked all set to join the Blues just weeks after lifting the Champions League with the Reds in 2005 but it didn’t happen in the end.10Real Madrid vs Barcelona
This is arguably the biggest game in club world football so Real Madrid vs Barcelona was always going to make this list.You could pick out examples of fierce clashes between the two from every season but it arguably reached boiling point when Luis Figo transferred from Barca to Real.And in a LaLiga clash at the Nou Camp in November 2002, a pig’s head was even thrown at Figo’s direction when he prepared to take a corner.10Man Utd fans love what Scott McTominay said after defeat by Barcelona.
