STAMFORD, Conn. – September 7, 2016 – Live Premier League match coverage continues this week with a blockbuster Manchester Derby, as unbeaten clubs Manchester United and Manchester City face off this Saturday, September 10, at 7:30 a.m. ET on NBCSN and TELEMUNDO. For the second time in league history, both Manchester City and Manchester United have won their first three league games in the same season, the first being the 2011-12 season, when Manchester City won the Premier League title and Manchester United finished second (on a goal difference tiebreaker).

This season’s first installment of the Manchester Derby is one of the most anticipated fixtures of the year as both clubs have new managers in charge, with Jose Mourinho at Manchester United and Pep Guardiola at Manchester City. The two world-class managers have a heated history from their time overlapping in Spain (2010-2012), where Mourinho led Real Madrid while Guardiola was in charge of archrivals Barcelona. Now, the managerial foes are in the same city, bringing an extra layer of intrigue to the always-electric Manchester Derby. Coverage begins Saturday at 6:30 a.m. ET with Premier League Live on NBCSN.

NBC Sports Group’s lead Premier League play-by-play commentator Arlo White calls the match, joined by Lee Dixon and Graeme Le Saux. Rebecca Lowe hosts Premier League Live, joined by former Major League Soccer and U.S. Men’s National Team midfielder Kyle Martino and former Jamaican National Team Player Robbie Earle.

REBECCA LOWE, KYLE MARTINO & ROBBIE EARLE ON THE MANCHSTER DERBY

Rebecca Lowe: “There have been rivalries in football going back years but this rivalry is what the term ‘box office’ was made for. Jose Mourinho and Pep Guardiola cannot stand each other. Now they have to stand yards away from each other as they lead two of England’s biggest clubs in one of the biggest local derbies for years. This game is a modern managerial rivalry within an old, traditional fixture which is the very heartbeat of the north west of England. You’ll find nothing better to watch on Saturday morning.”

Kyle Martino: “George Lucas couldn’t even dream up Pep Guardiola vs. Jose Mourinho in the Manchester Derby. This will be epic!”

Robbie Earle: “It’s the one day you don’t want to be left red-faced or to be feeling the blues. It’s the Manchester Derby, when winning is everything.”
