STAMFORD, Conn. – March 19, 2020 – Two weekends ago, the Manchester Derby on NBC became the most-watched Premier League match in U.S. TV history. And this weekend, Premier League programming on NBCSN features full event replays of recent memorable Manchester United-Manchester City games.

The Manchester Derby memories begin this Sunday, March 22 at 6 a.m. ET when Manchester City kept their place as Premier League leaders after beating archrivals Manchester United, 3-1, on November 11, 2018. Goals from Manchester City’s David Silva, Sergio Aguero and Ilkay Gundogan highlighted the match. The action continues at 8 a.m. ET when Manchester City earned a 2-1 derby victory over Manchester United at Old Trafford on December 10, 2017. Manchester City made Premier League history at the time as they became the first team to win 14 consecutive matches within the same season, while also ending Manchester United’s 24-match unbeaten home run in the league.

Derby action concludes at 10 a.m. ET when Manchester United rallied from two goals down to win 3-2 over Manchester City on April 7, 2018, delaying City’s title celebrations. Paul Pogba’s double early in the second half was the turning point of the match, while teammate Chris Smalling scored the 69^th-minute winner.

This weekend’s Premier League programming kicks off this Saturday, March 21, with back-to-back episodes of Soccerbox on NBCSN. First, at 6 a.m. ET, former Manchester United defender Gary Neville sits down with Arsenal legend Thierry Henry. Then at 6:30 a.m., Neville chats with his former United teammate Paul Scholes. The action continues with seven hours of Premier League Goals of the Season featuring highlights from the 2010-17 seasons.

KLOPP’S PROMISE

NBCSN will premiere the documentary, “Klopp’s Promise,” this Saturday at 2 p.m. ET. Narrated by Roger Bennett, the show highlights Liverpool’s journey in the four-plus years under manager Jurgen Klopp, from winning the Champions League, to closing in on their first league title in 30 years, to having to wait for that title due to the Premier League season being suspended. An encore presentation will air on Sunday at noon ET (NBCSN).
