STAMFORD, Conn. – January 8, 2019 – NBC Sports’ lead Premier League play-by-play commentator Arlo White and analysts Lee Dixon, a former Arsenal player, and Graeme Le Saux, a former Chelsea player, will call both West Ham v. Arsenal (7:30 a.m. ET on NBCSN & Universo) and fourth-place Chelsea v. Newcastle (12:30 p.m. ET on NBC & Universo). For this edition of “Arlo, Lee and Graeme’s Excellent Adventure,” White, Dixon, and Le Saux will journey past several London landmarks between matches, enjoying passing views of Tower Bridge, Buckingham Palace, and Westminster Abbey on their way to Stamford Bridge.  The trio will then return on Sunday to call a blockbuster match between third-place Tottenham and Manchester United at 11:30 a.m. ET on NBCSN and Telemundo.

“Announcing two Premier League games on the same day is really great fun, and now we have the added twist of calling a third game the following day, all in the same city!” White said. “We’ve given up trying to race between stadiums as Lee is far too competitive, but we’ll climb on the motorbike taxis after calling West Ham v Arsenal and head west across town to Stamford Bridge, and call Chelsea v Newcastle. We’ll be armed with GoPro cameras so I’m sure we’ll see some famous sights and landmarks along the way!

“After a night to recover, we’ll head to Wembley on Sunday for a massive game between title chasing Tottenham and a rejuvenated Manchester United.  As usual, the games themselves will come first, but it’s the perfect weekend for the three of us and we can’t wait to get started.”

NBC Sports’ live Premier League coverage begins this Saturday, Jan. 12, at 7 a.m. ET with Premier League Mornings on NBCSN, followed by West Ham v. fifth-place Arsenal. West Ham come off a 2-2 draw, while London rival Arsenal look to close the gap on the top-4.

At 10 a.m. ET, NBCSN presents Brighton & Hove Albion v. first-place Liverpool, who suffered their first loss of the Premier League season to defending champions Manchester City last week.
