One of the most anticipated matchups in the club soccer calendar leads the way, as the Manchester Derby headlines this weekend’s soccer on TV.

Manchester United hosts Manchester City with eyes trained on more than local pride. Five consecutive league wins coupled with Man City’s inconsistent form has taken the Red Devils above their rivals into third place. A win solidifies Man United’s position to automatically qualify for the UEFA Champions League group stage. On the other hand, the Citizens would like nothing better than to spark a late charge with a win in their rivals’ back yard.

In one of its most challenging games since taking top spot in La Liga away from Real Madrid, Barcelona travels to Sevilla hoping to maintain a four-point gap. The home side is chasing Champions League soccer next season along with Valencia.

Hamburg faces a difficult test while trying to climb away from the Bundesliga relegation scrap in a home game against second-place Wolfsburg. Sitting in 16th place, Hamburg has not won a game since Feb. 7.

Club America will try to maintain its effort in a four-horse race for the top spot in Liga MX in a road contest against Monterrey. League leaders Tijuana plays struggling Queretaro, while second place Veracruz hosts bottom club Morelia on Friday.

Soccer Sunday in MLS moves westward this week, starting with the Portland Timbers against Orlando City. National television coverage moves south later with LA Galaxy playing Seattle Sounders in a rematch of last season’s Western Conference Final.
