The magic of the FA Cup returns this week with fifth round action featuring some more minnows facing giants.
Tottenham, who survived a scare in the fourth round against Newport County, will once again travel to lower league opponents as they face Rochdale on Sunday morning. It took a replay for Spurs to escape their League Two foes last round and they hope to escape a similar fate in fifth round play.
Elsewhere in Europe, Borussia Monchengladbach takes on Borussia Dortmund, Real Madrid travels to Real Betis after a momentous Champions League win, and Juventus takes on their local rivals Toruno in Turin.
There are even a pair of MLS preseason matches to check out on Saturday evening to satisfy the growing thirst for domestic soccer.
Here’s the full rundown of soccer on TV this weekend.
