Telemundo presents a pair of decisive games this weekend, the first on Saturday, May 9 at 9PM/8C/6P, when León hosts Xolos de Tijuana in a match narrated by the award-winning Andrés Cantor with analysis by Sammy Sadovnik and legendary Mexican scorer Carlos Hermosillo.

León hopes to finish the last week of regular play with a victory at home against Xolos de Tijuana. After losing to Atlas at home in Week 15, Tijuana needs a win to move up in the rankings and ensure a spot in the playoffs, depending on the results of the week's other games. The two teams have faced each other seven times since Apertura 2012, ending in four wins for León and three for Tijuana. In their entire history in the first division, the rival squads have tied only twice and León has won two shutouts: 4-0 in Apertura 2012 and 5-0 in Apertura 2013. Their last game, however, in Apertura 2014, ended in a 3-2 win for Tijuana.

In the weekend's second headliner match, Chelsea will flaunt its recent championship against Liverpool this Sunday, May 10 at 10:55AM/9:55C/7:55P. Andrés Cantor and Sammy Sadovnik will be on hand for this match as well, joined this time by former Chivas de Guadalajara star player Manuel Sol.

Just three weeks after winning the Liga Premier title with a 1-0 victory over Crystal Palace, the Blues will be back on their home turf to battle a Liverpool determined to wrest fourth place away from Manchester United to secure a spot in the next Champions League. With the championship in hand, Chelsea Coach José Mourinho can feel free to field players who have not put in much time in the tournament so far, including Colombia's Juan Guillermo Cuadrado, who took the field for 45 minutes against Crystal Palace.

In addition to their televised broadcasts on Telemundo, both games will be streamed live onDeportesTelemundo.com digital platforms and the NBC DEPORTES EN VIVO EXTRA mobile app.
