Watford ambassador Jay DeMerit said: “I am really excited to attend the Premier League Mornings Live fan festival with NBC Sports in Miami Beach. It will be a great opportunity to meet supporters whose passion for the Premier League gets them out of bed early every weekend. There will be lots of free family friendly activities taking place, so if you’ve not registered yet, make sure you do and come and join us on South Beach!”

Former Premier League midfielder Nigel Reo-Coker will join the NBC Sports’ team for Saturday’s late kick-off when his old club West Ham United visit Southampton.

West Ham United ambassador Nigel Reo-Coker stated: “Living in Florida, I know how much soccer means to everyone here. To be able to bring the Premier League to American supporters through this fan festival with NBC Sports, is really exciting and like nothing I have been to before. I can’t wait to head to South Beach to meet all of the West Ham fans and hopefully celebrate a few goals for the team alongside them all!”

In addition to DeMerit and Reo-Coker, former Brighton & Hove Albion striker Peter Ward, former Leicester City defender Gerry Taggart and former Aston Villa forward Juan Pablo Ángel will also be in attendance to catch up with fans and get involved in some of the free activations, which include: Dancakes pancake art, airbrush tattoos, Premier League shirt printing and Nike’s fast feet cages.
