NBC Deportes Sets Weekend Soccer Coverage

NBC Deportes presents another weekend of world-class soccer with a classic Liga MX duel and six Liga Premier matches, airing at the following times:

Saturday, January 23:

Norwich City (23 pts.) vs. Liverpool (31pts.), 7:40AM/6:40/4:40P, exclusively on NBCDeportes.com

Southampton (30) at Manchester United (37), 9:55AM/8:55C/6:55P, on NBC Universo

Leicester City (44) vs. Stoke City (33), 9:55AM/8:55C/6:55P, exclusively on NBCDeportes.com

West Ham (35) vs. Manchester City (43), 12:25PM/11:25C/9:25P on NBC Universo. This is a crucial match for the Citizens, who could find themselves in the top spot in the league depending on the weekend's results. West Ham will need to use its home field advantage to the fullest if it hopes to rank among the top five teams eligible to compete in next season's European cups.

Meanwhile, in the Liga MX, León hosts Cruz Azul in a match airing live from Estadio León at 9PM/8C/6P on NBC Universo. Ever since they squared off in the Torneo Invierno '97 final, encounters between these two teams have been heated battles drawing an avid fan base. With just two weeks from starting Torneo Clausura 2016, León has a perfect record under Argentine coach Juan Antonio Pizzi, with the most goals scored and the top position in the Liga MX standings. Cruz Azul, which has gone 18 years without winning the championship, is also undefeated with two ties. Saturday's game will be narrated by the award-winning Andrés Cantor, with the commentary and unique insights of three-time top Mexican scorer Carlos Hermosillo, returning to the stadium where he won his last championship for Cruz Azul.

Sunday, January 24:

Everton (29) vs. Swansea (22), 8:25AM/7:25C/5:25P, exclusively on NBCDeportes.com

Arsenal (44) vs. Chelsea (25), 10:55/9:55C/7:55P, on TELEMUNDO. Arsenal, currently in the top spot in the Liga Premier, will try to put more distance between it and its closest rival while breaking an eight-game losing streak against Chelsea dating back to Week 10 of the 2011-2012 season. The last time these two London teams met, back in Week 6 of the current tournament, the Blues walked away with another 2-0 win. Arsenal is hoping the expected return of Chilean goalkeeper Alexis Sánchez in time for Sunday's game could help its chances.
