NBC Deportes presents six exciting Week 32 Liga Premier matches and one game from Week 12 of the Liga MX, airing on Telemundo, NBC UNIVERSO and NBC Deportes digital platforms at the following times:
Saturday, April 2
Chelsea at Aston Villa, 7:30AM/6:30C/4:30P on NBC UNIVERSO. This weekend's visit to Villa Park is an excellent opportunity for Chelsea to rise above the pack and close the gap separating it from the top five teams eligible for next season's European tournaments. For its part, Aston Villa desperately needs to rack up points to stay in league play.
Arsenal vs. Watford, 9:45AM/8:45C/6:45P on NBC UNIVERSO. On paper at least, this match would seem to be an easy win for Arsenal, given that Watford hasn't won a single game since Week 26. Depending on the week's results, it could be the perfect opportunity for the Gunners to catch up to second-place Tottenham and increase their lead over Manchester City.
Bournemouth vs. Manchester City, 9:55AM/8:55C/6:55P, exclusively on NBCDeportes.com and NBC Deportes EN VIVO EXTRA.
Liverpool vs. Tottenham, 12:25PM/11:25C/9:25P on NBC UNIVERSO. Many fans see the Spurs as the only team with a chance to nab first place from the season's sensation, Leicester City. Tottenham has gone three games straight without a loss, but historically Liverpool has dominated their encounters, winning five and tying one of their last six games. The last time Tottenham beat Liverpool in regular season play was back on November 28, 2012. The Spurs have Harry Kane, who recently dethroned Leicester City's Jamie Vardy as the league's top scorer.
Liga MX
Monterrey at León, 10PM/9C/7P on NBC UNIVERSO. The league's super leader plays on NBC UNIVERSO this weekend, when León returns home hungry for a win that will bring it closer to the top of the league standings. Over the years, León-Monterrey matchups have been some of the league's highest scoring games. The two rivals haven't tied since León's return to first division play: of a total of seven games, León has won three and Monterrey four, with 10 vs. 15 goals, respectively. They also boast two of the league's top scorers: Mauro Boselli of León and Rogelio Funes Mori of Monterrey, both from Argentina, tied with five goals each.
Sunday, April 3
Liga Premier
Southampton at Leicester City, 8:25AM/7:25C/5:25P on NBC UNIVERSO. Leicester has been this season's surprise frontrunner, dominating first place with the league's second best offense and #2 scorer, Jamie Vardy. Southampton, only three points away from the top five and solidly in the top ten, hopes that a win could catapult it into fifth place, depending on the results of the rest of the week's games. With a comfortable five-point lead over Tottenham, its closest rival, Leicester needs to avoid BECOMING complacent and secure its hold on first place by drawing closer to the coveted 70-point mark.
Manchester United vs. Everton, 10:55AM/9:55C/7:55P on TELEMUNDO. Manchester United has been unable to keep up the pace required to rank among the league's top five. Fans hope this could be the match that changes all that, but mid-ranked Everton could still have some surprises up its sleeve and may prove to be another obstacle between the Red Devils and a spot in next season's European cups.
