Telemundo’s broadcast of the first game of the season on “Fútbol Estelar: La Liga Premier,” Manchester City vs. Newcastle, on August 17 at 10:55 am ET, earned the network a 38% increase in total audience numbers and 57% among viewers aged 18-49, more than the last season's first broadcasted game between Liverpool and Manchester United, Nielsen reported.
Leicester City, one of England’s oldest soccer clubs, returns to the Premier League after a 10-year absence. The "Blue Army" comes to game 3 after tying Everton 2-2 in the first game of the championship and losing 2-0 to Chelsea in the second. Composed almost entirely of British players, Leicester City has only one Latin American in its ranks, Argentina’s Leonardo Ulloa.
For its part, Arsenal is undefeated after beating Crystal Palace 2-1 in the first game of the 2014-2015 season and tying Everton (also 2-2) in game 2.
