NBC Sports’ live Premier League coverage continues this week, highlighted by Liverpool hosting Brighton & Hove Albion this Saturday, August 25, at 12:30 p.m. ET on NBC and Universo. Liverpool hosted Brighton in the final match of last season, when Mohamed Salah broke the record for the most goals in a 38-game Premier League season (32 goals) and claimed the league’s Golden Boot award. Brighton & Hove Albion come off a 3-2 win over Premier League powers Manchester United, with all three goals scored in the first half, while the Reds come off a 2-0 win at Crystal Palace.

Following the match Saturday at 12:30 p.m. ET on NBC is a live Goal Zone hosted by Rebecca Lowe, who will be joined by former U.S. Men’s National Team midfielder Kyle Martino and former Premier League footballer Robbie Mustoe. In addition, former Premier League referee Mark Clattenburg will join the studio as a guest throughout the weekend, discussing key refereeing decisions and themes. Lowe also hosts Premier League Mornings and Premier League Live joined by Martino and Mustoe this week.

Last Saturday’s NBC match – a 3-2 Chelsea win over Arsenal – posted a Total Audience Delivery average of 1.14 million viewers (1.07 million viewers on NBC) to rank as the second-most watched August Premier League game on record. In the thrilling match, the Gunners fought back from two goals down to level the score, before Chelsea’s Marcos Alonso scored the game winning goal in the 81st minute.
