We’re back with some television (and online streaming) picks for the weekend, selected from the SoccerInsider’s weekly post:
SATURDAY
Three simultaneous games in England that will have an impact on the Premier League title race–take your pick:
England, Chelsea-Everton 10 a.m. ESPN2 (also ESPN3.com)
England, Arsenal-Fulham 10 a.m. FSC
England, Manchester City-Bolton 10 a.m. FSP (also foxsoccer.tv)
Spain, Real Madrid-Valencia 4 p.m. GolTV: How will Real Madrid bounce back from Monday’s drubbing in El Clasico? Valencia has slipped down to the 5th in La Liga.
Germany, Schalke-Bayern Munich 4 p.m. ESPN Deportes (also ESPN3.com): Although Bayern Munich is only 5th in the Bundesliga, while Schalke is still mired in the bottom third of the table, these are two of the more talented sides in Germany–both will be advancing to the final 16 of the Champions League. Note that Schalke pairs Raul and Dutchman Klaus-Jan Huntelaar up front.
SUNDAY
Spain, Espanyol-Gijon 11 a.m. GolTV: Mostly for the chance of catching a glimpse of Preciado’s moustache–although note that Espanayol has quietly climbed into 4th place in La Liga.
Spain, Villarreal-Sevilla 1 p.m. ESPN Deportes (also ESPN3.com): 3rd & 8th in the table, respectively.
MONDAY
Italy, Napoli-Palermo 2:30 p.m. FSP (also ESPN3.com): 4th and 6th in Serie A, respectively.
