London rivals Chelsea and Arsenal face off at Stamford Bridge this Saturday, August 18, at 12:30 p.m. ET on NBC and Universo, highlighting NBC Sports’ live Premier League coverage this week.

After finishing outside of Champions League qualifying positions last season, both Chelsea and Arsenal aim to finish in the top-four once again. After winning the Premier League title in 2016-17, Chelsea finished in fifth place last season. The Blues are coming off a 3-0 win at Huddersfield last Saturday, while Arsenal are looking for their first victory of the season after falling 2-0 to defending champions Manchester City on Sunday.

NBC Sports Group’s lead Premier League play-by-play commentator Arlo White calls the match, joined by former Arsenal right-back Lee Dixon and former Chelsea left-back Graeme Le Saux.

Arsenal’s opening match against Manchester City averaged 723,000 viewers Sunday on NBCSN to rank as the most-watched opening weekend cable Premier League match on record, excluding 2016 during the Rio Olympics, which featured lead-in programming and additional promotion.
