From a big European rivalry to the decisive legs of the MLS conference finals, this weekend has a little bit of soccer for everybody.
Arsenal will host Tottenham in the first North London derby of the season on Saturday, and both teams will be aiming for wins so as to try and get closer to breaking into a top four spot in the Premiership. The match should also give Clint Dempsey his first taste of action against Arsenal as a member of Spurs, and the U.S. Men’s National Team forward has been known in the past for coming through in big games.
Two other big matches will take place over on this side of the pond, as the MLS Cup finalists will be decided on Sunday. D.C. United host the Houston Dynamo looking to erase a two-goal deficit while the Seattle Sounders try and overcome a 3-0 first leg loss when they host the defending champion Los Angeles Galaxy.

Some issues and omissions with your Spanish-language channels (as I’ve noticed has become common in the last few weeks, what happened?) It’s especially surprising that after the article about Garza you don’t even have the Tijuana game listed here!

Lets pray that Dempsey scores tomorrow. Jozy too
Yeah, let’s pray for that.
Zeus and I are Gunners so Spurs will lose. We will however grant Deuce a goal if you were to sacrifice your best goat. 10 Goats or more and we’ll consider a brace!
