WEEKEND WATCH GUIDE
FA Cup: Leicester City at Fleetwood Town, 6:30 a.m. Saturday, FS1. Six years ago, forward Jamie Vardy scored 31 goals in 36 games for fifth-division Fleetwood Town. Leicester City bought him for a million pounds and he became a Premier League-winning hero. He returns to his former club, which is now in the third division.
Serie A: Atalanta at Roma, 11 a.m. Saturday, beIN. Roma is near the top of the standings and Atalanta near the middle. But Atalanta might enter this match with more confidence, after defeating Napoli in the Coppa Italia this week. Roma has just two victories in six games and is having a lot of trouble scoring goals.
FA Cup: West Ham at Shrewsbury Town, 8 a.m. Sunday, FS1. This is what an early-round FA Cup game is supposed to look like: a big Premier League side like West Ham visiting a tiny team like Shrewsbury. The atmosphere should be crackling. Shrewsbury, currently second in the third division, could put up a fight.
FA Cup: Arsenal at Nottingham Forest, 10 a.m. Sunday, FS1. When Arsenal was founded in 1886, the club wrote to Nottingham Forest for help — and received some red jerseys. It's why Arsenal wears red even today. Old friendships will be put aside, though, as Forest tries to take down the London giants.
