Leicester City continue their “Cinderella” title contention this Sunday, May 1, at 9:05 am ET against Manchester United on NBCSN and TELEMUNDO, highlighting NBC Sports Group’s Premier League coverage this weekend. In the simplest of scenarios, the Foxes can clinch the title with a win against the Red Devils on Sunday. If Leicester draw or lose, it will be up to Tottenham to draw or win against Chelsea on Monday to prolong Spurs’ title hopes (3 p.m. ET on NBCSN). A Tottenham loss on Monday would clinch the title for Leicester regardless of their result against Manchester United.
Leicester City would become champions in England’s top flight for the first time in their 132-year history. No team which finished outside of the top four teams the season prior has ever won the title, and only four teams have won in the last 20 years (Chelsea, Arsenal, Manchester United, Manchester City).
NBC Sports Group’s lead Premier League play-by-play Arlo White calls the match joined by analyst Lee Dixon at Old Trafford.
