NBC DEPORTES presents the most exciting matchup of Week 2 of Liga Premier play: Manchester City vs. Chelsea, live this Sunday, August 16 at 10:55/9:55C/7:55P on TELEMUNDO. Sammy Sadovnik and former Chivas de Guadalajara star player Manuel Sol will bring viewers all of the action from Etihad Stadium.

Manchester City has the most foreign players of any British soccer team. It had only two English players in its starting lineup in Week 1, which ended in a 3-0 victory over West Brom: goalkeeper Joe Hart and forward Raheem Sterling, the latter lured away from Liverpool last month for one of the biggest price tags in league history. The Citizens' international roster also features Argentine players Pablo Zabaleta, Martín Demichelis and Sergio Agüero, as well as Jesús Navas and David Silva of Spain.

Chelsea, the 2014-2015 champions, began the season at home with a 2-2 tie against Swansea City. The closely played match showcased some of the team's new faces, including Colombian star Radamel Falcao, who played for Man City's archenemy, Manchester United, last season.

In addition to the traditional rivalry between Manchester City and Chelsea, Sunday's game will spotlight the competitiveness of the team's respective coaches, Manuel Pellegrini and José Mourinho. Of their last 12 encounters, Mourinho has led the Blues to 7 victories over Man City and only 2 losses. The last time the two teams met, in Week 23 of the 2014-2015 season, they settled for a 1-1 tie.
