Premier League: Tottenham at Chelsea, 11:30 a.m. Saturday, Ch. 11. After Chelsea got smashed 3-0 by Arsenal in September, many people wondered how long it would take new manager Antonio Conte to get his side going. Since that day, the Blues have won six consecutive matches without conceding a goal and are atop the league. Conte's men should be considered the title favorites.

Bundesliga: Bayer Leverkusen at Bayern Munich, 11:30 a.m. Saturday, FS2. It's all a little unsettled at Bayern Munich right now, as the Reds have fallen off the top of the Bundesliga standings for the first time in seemingly half a decade. All it took was one loss to Borussia Dortmund and manager Carlo Ancelotti is under fire. Can the perennial champions right the ship?

MLS playoffs: Seattle at Colorado, 3 p.m. Sunday, ESPN. Seattle earned a 2-1 home victory in the first leg. But Colorado's away goal gives it the advantage in the tiebreaker, and the Rapids went the entire season without losing a game at home. Colorado hasn't been this close to the MLS Cup since winning it in 2010. Seattle is looking for its first-ever berth in the final.
