SATURDAY

Sporting Kansas City vs. New York Red Bulls
6:30 p.m. (all times Eastern)
NBC Sports Network
It’s a battle for first place in the Eastern Conference. Unfortunately for Kansas City, Graham Zusi’s availability remains a serious question mark. The No. 6-ranked player in the ASN 100 was forced to leave the MLS All-Star game early with a quad strain. The minor injury, however, might not be a cause for concern. After all, the last Red Bulls player to score against SKC was Luke Rodgers... in 2011.

Morelia vs. Tijuana
7:50 p.m.
ESPN 3
Club Tijuana welcomed back Edgar Castillo and Joe Corona this past Tuesday. After featuring in the Gold Cup, the championship duo returned to action in a 1-0 win over Pachuca. Even defender Pablo Aguilar made his second consecutive start of the season. Look for the American-heavy Xolos to work towards another victory against Morelia this weekend.

Everton vs. Real Madrid
8:00 p.m.
ESPN Deportes
Tim Howard played the hero against Juventus this past Wednesday. Five saves—including a denial of Federico Peluso in penalties—helped send Everton to the next round of the International Champions Cup. With Real Madrid next in line, can the Toffees pull off another improbable upset?

Juventus vs. Los Angeles Galaxy
10:30 p.m.
Fox Soccer
It’s not every day an MLS franchise has the opportunity to face a traditional world power, but the Galaxy will face its second in the span of three days. A 3-1 loss to Real Madrid dropped L.A. to the crossover side of the International Champions Cup bracket, but the competition has not weakened. The Galaxy now have the arduous task of facing the 29-time Serie A champions, Juventus, at Dodger Stadium.

SUNDAY

UNAM vs. Tigres
1:00 p.m.
Univision Deportes
It hasn’t been a stellar start for Tigres this season. Two matches. Two losses. Fortunately for the Gold-Blues, the cavalry is on its way. Jose Torres will figure to feature in the starting XI as the club visits Pumas. Just don’t expect a barnburner in Mexico City as the two clubs have scored a meager three goals combined this season.

BEST OF THE REST

MLS: Philadelphia Union vs. Chicago Fire (8:00 p.m., Saturday, MLS Live)—American favorites Jack McInerney and Mike Magee will feature in this pivotal Eastern Conference showdown.

MLS: Seattle Sounders vs. FC Dallas (10:30 p.m., Saturday, MLS Live)—Eddie Johnson makes his triumphant return to Seattle this Saturday, but an off-the-field rumor has brought extra attention to the Emerald City. Expect a Twitter explosion if Clint Dempsey is in attendance.

NO U.S. ANGLE BUT...

International Champions Cup: AC Milan vs. Chelsea (6:30 p.m., Saturday, Fox Soccer)—Two traditional European powers will battle for a spot in the International Champions Cup final.
