WEEKEND WATCH GUIDE

Premier League: Arsenal at Leicester City, 11:30 a.m. Saturday, CNBC. Last year's Premier League top two are already in crisis; both lost in round one, and neither has much confidence going into week two. Leicester City lost just three times in its magical season last year, but two of those were to Arsenal; the Gunners sorely need another win to get their season started.

MLS: Los Angeles at New York City, 2:30 p.m. Saturday, ESPN. MLS loves showing off New York vs. Los Angeles. To the league's delight, NYC is leading the Eastern Conference in its second season, while Los Angeles is (as always) chasing the title in the west. This game has more big names than any other on the MLS calendar, and you can expect to hear plenty about them.

Liga MX: Atlas at Chivas, 9 p.m. Saturday, Univision. This is the cross-Guadalajara rivalry, and like any good soccer rivalry it's got a history in a class war. Atlas are the upper-class team, Chivas the team of the people. Things haven't exactly cooled down in recent years; when the two teams met in the 2015 playoffs, Atlas fans started a riot after Chivas went ahead 4-1.

MLS: Portland at Seattle, 8:30 p.m. Sunday, FS1. The Sounders fired head coach Sigi Schmid, but maybe more importantly, simultaneously signed Uruguayan attacking midfielder Nicolas Lodeiro. All the new arrival has done is spark his new team to seven points in three games, and now Seattle trails rival Portland by just five points for the final playoff spot.
