WEEKEND WATCH GUIDE

Premier League: Leicester City at Manchester United, 11:30 a.m. Saturday, Ch. 11. It's hard to see how Manchester United could have started the season much better. The Red Devils have a pair of 4-0 victories so far and the look of a team that could cruise to the title.

Bundesliga: Hertha Berlin at Borussia Dortmund, 11:30 a.m. Saturday, FS1. Christian Pulisic wowed for Dortmund in week one, scoring one goal and setting up another on the way to being named the Bundesliga Man of the Matchday. Dortmund opens its home schedule this week. Can Pulisic impress the BVB faithful this week as well?

MLS: Toronto at Montreal, 3:30 p.m. Sunday, ESPN. Toronto is the league's best team, and some are starting to whisper about whether the Reds should be in the conversation as the best team in MLS history. Meanwhile, Montreal is shooting up the standings. Expect a late-summer Canadian brawl.

MLS: Portland at Seattle, 8:30 Sunday, FS1. The best rivalry in MLS now includes what looks like the Western Conference's best team, as Seattle keeps rolling. Portland, which should make the playoffs but won't challenge at the top of the conference, would love to let some air out of Seattle's tires.
