League Cup clash of Premier League giants highlights this week’s soccer on TV

1 Shares

The English Carabao Cup welcomes the big Premier League teams for its third round of action and one match presents a clash of global giants.

The big match of the round sees Liverpool taking on Chelsea for the right to advance to the next stage of the League Cup. Liverpool are the only side in the Premier League with a perfect record through six matches and are hopeful they can carry that momentum into the Cup without upsetting their league campaign much. Chelsea, who dropped points for the first time just last week, are looking to rebound after a scoreless draw against West Ham.

Elsewhere, Germany, Spain, France, and Italy all have full slates of midweek league action. Real Madrid, Barcelona, Bayern Munich, Juventus, and all the giants are in action. The week also features cup matches around the world including the Copa Sudamericana in South America, the Scottish League Cup, Copa MX, and the U.S. Open Cup Final.

  1. dear joe hojnacki, “the world of soccer with an american voice”: what does that mean to you? does it mean A) report about the epl B) report about the euro league or C) report about usa matches, leagues and players.
    the correct answer is C) report about usa matches, leagues and players.
    joe, you failed.
    from a usa point of view, there is only one game this week, the us open cup final on wednesday night between houston and philly.
    instead of losing focus, what you should do instead is do two pieces, one focusing on houston and how they got to the cup final and the other focusing on philly and their different road that led them to the cup final. you might do a third piece and let all of you guys predict the final score, like you guys did for the world cup last summer. all of this builds excitement. then of course on wednesday, you can have live commentary during the match and a full game report and analysis afterward.
    i love you people dearly but this is the usa, not europe, please dear joe, try to focus on the mission here, will ya?

    • you can still tell us the list of games all around the world, you just have to “spin it” differently. the assumption is everyone’s focused on the big wednesday cup final in houston, but on the “back page” you could have “other tv listings” such as euro leagues and cups and whatever.
