Deportes Telemundo presents the Premier League Week 16 matchup between Liverpool and Arsenal, live this Sunday, December 21 at 10:55AM/9:55C/7:55PT. The teams' current positions make this the week's most exciting game, and Deportes Telemundo's elite sportscasting trio - led by the acclaimed Andrés Cantor alongside veteran commentator Sammy Sadovnik and former Chivas de Guadalajara player turned analyst Manuel Sol - will ensure viewers miss none of the action at Anfield Road.
Liverpool will have an opportunity to straighten its course mid season after being eliminated from the Champions League. In their last game, Brendan Rogers's players lost 3-0 at Old Trafford to historic rival Manchester United. Liverpool is currently in eleventh place in the league standings, with 21 points (6 wins, 3 ties and 7 losses). In recent days some sports media reported that Guillermo Ochoa would pass from Malaga to Liverpool in a deal worth around 3 million pounds. If the transfer goes through, Ochoa will replace Belgium's Simon Mignolet in Liverpool's defensive lineup in January.
Arsenal's season has been quite different: The Gunners have suffered only four losses in the Premier League, most recently a close 3-2 match at Stoke City on December 6. Under Arsene Wenger's leadership, the team made it to the second round in the Champions League, where it will go on to face Monaco. Arsenal's star players include Chile's Alexis Sánchez, the team's top scorer with 9 goals so far this season. The Londoners are in sixth place in the league table, with 26 points, just two points away from the Champions' zone but 13 points behind league leader Chelsea, with 39.
