Liverpool is fresh off obtaining something that Arsenal has craved for years — a trophy. The Gunners, though, are currently situated in a place where Liverpool would like to be — a UEFA Champions League spot. 

The two teams clash at Anfield in one of the high-profile matches of the weekend, with the Reds looking to chip away at a seven-point deficit between them and fourth-place Arsenal while both try to overcome key injury absences to pick up the three points. In another huge match in England, Tottenham hosts Manchester United in a game featuring two of the three teams that still have realistic shots at the Premier League championship.

Elsewhere in Europe, Michael Bradley had his say in the United States' victory over Italy, and he can leave his mark on the Serie A race as well as his Chievo Verona looks to deal title-chaser Juventus its first loss of the season.

As for MLS, the 2012 regular season is just about a week away, and preseason tournaments are winding down. The finals and consolation games of the Desert Diamond Cup and Disney Pro Soccer Classic take place Saturday night as teams make final adjustments before the games start to really count.

Here is this weekend's soccer on TV:
