WEEKEND WATCH GUIDE

Premier League: Leicester City at Hull City, 6:30 a.m. Saturday, CNBC. Get up early to get the season started by reminiscing about last year with Leicester City. Last year manager Claudio Ranieri insisted for the first half of the year that his goal was earning 40 points to avoid relegation. His target for the season this year? "Forty points. Don't laugh," he told reporters.

Premier League: Liverpool at Arsenal, 10 a.m. Sunday, NBCSN. Liverpool's preseason highlight was a 4-0 win against Barcelona in front of nearly 90,000 people at Wembley Stadium, but now the games are for real. Arsenal is already facing a dismaying reality; both of the team's center backs have suffered long-term injuries, leaving Arsenal woefully thin and potentially at Liverpool's mercy.

DFL Supercup: Bayern Munich vs. Borussia Dortmund, 1:30 p.m. Sunday, FS1. The opening exhibition of the German season matches up last year's winner vs. last year's second-place side. Bayern is heavily favored to add a fifth consecutive Bundesliga title this year; Dortmund is, as usual, about all that stands in Bayern's way. This game is meaningless in the standings but not in the mind.

Spanish Super Cup: Barcelona vs. Sevilla, 3 p.m. Sunday, ESPN. Spain's season-opening game is actually contested over two legs, with the second coming Wednesday. Sevilla doesn't have a good record in these sorts of games; the three-time defending Europa League winners have played in the UEFA Super Cup three straight seasons, and have lost to a fellow Spanish team each time.
