NBC Deportes presents a soccer-filled weekend with eight Week 31 Liga Premier games and one Week 11 Liga MX match, airing at the following times:
Saturday, March 19.
Everton vs. Arsenal, 8:30AM/7:30C/5:30P, onNBC UNIVERSO. This game is key to Arsenal's dreams of winning the league title. History favors Arsene Wenger's team in this matchup: Everton has defeated Arsenal only once in 13 league games since the 2009-2010 season.
Leicester at Crystal Palace, 10:45AM/9:45C/7:45P on
NBC UNIVERSO. The undisputed leader of the Liga Premier goes in strong to this away game against Crystal Palace. After beating Newcastle in Week 30, Leicester now has a five-point lead at the top of the standings. This weekend's game will give the Foxes' top scorer, Jamie Vardy, a chance to wrest the title of individual goal leader from Tottenham's Harry Kane, who moved into first place after Vardy failed to make any of his shots last week.
Chelsea vs. West Ham, 10:55AM/9:55C/7:55P, on
NBC Deportes EN VIVO EXTRA
Aston Villa at Swansea, 1:25PM/12:25C/10:25P, on
NBC Deportes EN VIVO EXTRA
Liga MX
Pachuca vs. Veracruz, 10PM/9C/7P, on
NBC UNIVERSO. Pachuca returns home determined to gain enough points to move ahead of América, which caught up to it in the lead standings last week. But Veracruz is equally determined to have things go its way in Hidalgo Stadium after last week's win over Atlas, which lifted it out of second-to-last place. Despite their low ranking, the Sharks have suffered only three losses this season, one less than Pachuca, but the Tuzos have walked away the victors all three times the teams have played since Week 13 of Clausura 2014.
Sunday, March 20.
The Liga Premier continues:
Newcastle vs. Sunderland, 9:25AM/8:25C/6:25P on
NBC UNIVERSO. Under Spanish head coach Rafa Benítez, Newcastle needs a win to satisfy its fans and gain some traction in the league tables. Both teams have a lot to lose in Sunday's game: If Newcastle wins, it will surpass Sunderland in points, while a victory for the Black Cats would move them comfortably away from the last three spots in the rankings.
Southampton vs. Liverpool, 9:25AM/8:25C/6:25P on
NBC Deportes EN VIVO EXTRA
Manchester City vs. Manchester United, 11:55AM/10:55C/8:55P on TELEMUNDO. One of the most eagerly awaited Liga Premier classics, the Manchester Derby features two main contenders for the league title. Manchester City can't afford to slip up if it wants to hold on to its place in the Champions League, but Manchester United coach Louis van Gaal is under a lot of pressure to gain the three points up for grabs for the Red Devils. ManU has had a busy FA Cup schedule and has only two days to prepare for its visit to Etihad Stadium.
