There’s plenty of soccer on TV this weekend with Major League Soccer returning and some big games abroad.
The campaign for the FA Cup continues with Arsenal set to host Everton for the quarterfinal match Saturday. Everton has never won at Arsenal’s Emirates Stadium, having drawn in their last two visits, but they will be traveling to face an Arsenal side still feeling the sting of their league defeat against Stoke City last weekend.
Everton may need to play without captain Phil Jagielka as a hamstring injury looks like it won’t be resolved soon, manager Roberto Martinez has told media.
Meanwhile, Chelsea will be looking to continue their 26-game unbeaten streak against Tottenham at Stamford Bridge and collect three points to solidify their position at the top of the Premier League.
In Italy, second-place AS Roma visits third-placed Napoli in a key Serie A match. It’s the first time these two teams have faced since Napoli thrashed AS Roma in the Coppa Italia.

Just signed up for MLS Live! I cannot wait for this weekend!
EPL games are not on Fox. The FA Cup games are. All EPL matches in the USA are on NBC.
How are EPL games on Fox? I thought NBC had the tv rights?
FA Cup.
As a Bundesliga and Crew fan as well as a DirecTV subscriber, I’m left in the dark. Very disappointing that I won’t be able to watch any soccer I care about this weekend.
MLS really should look into creating an app for the Xbox/Playstation to allow subscribers to watch MLS Direct Kick. Just seems like a logical “next step”.
You can watch MLS Live (Direct Kick on cable) on an Apple TV, Roku, PC, Mac, iOS, or Droid. If you don’t have an Apple TV or Roku, try hooking up an HDMI cable to connect your computer to your TV.
I completely agree. I would totally subscribe to this in a heartbeat.
