Two English heavyweights meet at Stamford Bridge on Sunday.
Chelsea hosts Manchester City in the fifth round of the FA Cup, while an in-form Tottenham side faces off against Crystal Palace.
John Terry is out of action for the Blues, but Man City head coach Manuel Pellegrini is expected to rest some of his senior players because the club plays Dynamo Kyiv in the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday.
Málaga-Real Madrid and Atlético Madrid-Villarreal are two matchups to keep an eye on in Spain. However, Bayer Leverkusen-Borussia Dortmund, Pumas UNAM-Santos Laguna and AS Roma-Palermo should also offer plenty of excitement and action this Sunday.
In the evening, competing CONCACAF and CONMEBOL nations will learn their fate in the Copa America Centenario draw.

How did pulisic look? All I saw was he was subbed after the half.
Pulisic got his first start and Chicharito blew an easy chance in front of goal at the end.
MY DAY IS MADE!
Clear handball not called in favor of Chicharito. This game is crazy lol
What is happening with this Dortmund v Laverkusen game? I’ve never seen the refs just walk-out of a game like that.
I don’t speak German so I don’t really know what’s going on, but after a controversial Dortmund goal, it looks like the ref pulled all the refs off the field and ended the game early. Around the ’70 minute. Never seen anything like this. Everyone on the field looks confused…
This is wild. The teams went back into the tunnel, then after about a 10 minute break of nothing happening, they are now coming back onto the field.
I believe Leverkusens manager was sent off but he was refusing to do so, then the ref walked off and took the players off until he went to the stands.
Well it was good he got a start in now. Had a nice pass to set up Aubameyang there at the end.
USA vs Canada is at 5:00PM ET , although I was interested in the morning kickoff in Houston..
Miazga on the bench for Chelsea.
Livescore.com has Pulisic starting at Leverkusen, though livescore is often incorrect.
ESPN says the same, big day for the young man!
Good thing Fox has the rights to all these games so they can not show them in favor of cars driving around in a circle. Thanks Fox!
Hey! Its hard to make 4 slight left hand turns
At the end of the day,all these stations are businesses, and, right now, Nascar has significantly higher ratings. Unless a station was to make a long term investment because they believe in the growth of the sport and their ability to recoup their investment in a given time frame (3/5/10 years), this is going to continue to happen. This is why I don’t get why clamor for Fox and ESPN to get leagues because they do this more than smaller stations (NBC, BeIN) which make a primary product.
That being said, the game was in Fox Deportes (which I get).
3 year lurker here to announce that Christian Pulisic is starting for Dortmund vs Leverkusen. That sound you hear is the hype train reaching warp speed.
Pleasure to meet you. I’m glad you broke your vow of silence, even if it did take CHRISTIAN Pulisic invading your desert hideaway with his hype train, hurting your foot, and eating your juniper berries.
Will Miazga start today? http://www.fastonetwo.com/england/chelsea/109660/guus-hiddink-update-john-terrys-injury-matt-miazga-start-fa-cup
In the 18, debut later in the game possible
