STAMFORD, Conn. – August 12, 2015 – Defending champions Chelsea face last season’s runners-up, Manchester City, in a match between the past two champions of England this Sun., August 16, at 11 a.m. ET on NBCSN and TELEMUNDO, highlighting NBC Sports Group’s Premier League coverage this week. This matchup of two title favorites is loaded with talent, highlighted by last season’s Golden Boot winner (awarded to the league’s leading scorer) Sergio Aguero, who scored 26 goals for Manchester City, and Chelsea midfielder Eden Hazard, the 2014-15 Barclays Premier League Player of the Year.

Everton and U.S. Men’s National Team goalkeeper Tim Howard joins NBC Sports Group’s lead Premier League play-by-play announcer Arlo White in the booth to call the match. Howard calls Manchester City-Chelsea just one day after suiting up for Everton’s match against Southampton (Sat., August 15, 7:45 a.m. ET on NBCSN).
