WEEKEND WATCH GUIDE

Bundesliga: Schalke at Borussia Dortmund, 8:30 a.m. Saturday, FS1. Lately the games between Dortmund and Bayern Munich have been more meaningful at the top of the league, but make no mistake — this local rivalry might be Germany's most bitter. That Dortmund is floundering and Schalke is in second place makes it all the more meaningful.

Premier League: Chelsea at Liverpool, 11:30 a.m. Saturday, Ch. 11. It looks like Manchester City might have the league title wrapped up by Christmas, but that leaves plenty of contenders chasing the consolation prize: a top-four spot and Champions League qualification. Three points separate Chelsea (in third) and Liverpool (fifth).

Ligue 1: Paris Saint-Germain at Monaco, 2 p.m. Sunday, beIN. There's a lot going on here. It's first vs. second, yes, but it's also PSG against the team that stole its French crown last year. It's the return of Kylian Mbappe to Monaco, which he spurned for an enormous payday at PSG. It might be the only chance for anyone to beat PSG this year, too.

Liga MX: Cruz Azul at America, 8 p.m. Sunday, Univision. This playoff quarterfinal is also a crosstown grudge match, with the teams going into the second leg tied 0-0 after a contentious first-leg matchup. America's fans always think it should win the title, but for Cruz Azul, it's been more than three years since it's even made the playoffs.
