FUTBOL ESTELAR Kicks Off on Telemundo This Saturday

NBC Deportes presents the most compelling matchup of Week 11 of Liga Premier soccer: Chelsea vs. Liverpool, live this Saturday, October 31 at 8:40AM/7:40C/5:30P exclusively on TELEMUNDO. The world famous Andrés Cantor will join commentator Manuel Sol, formerly of Chivas de Guadalajara, in bringing viewers all of the excitement from Stamford Bridge Stadium.

Saturday's match could mean life or death for José Mourinho, with some British media predicting that a loss will mean his replacement by Guus Hiddink or Carlo Ancelotti. Chelsea is currently in fifteenth place, one of its worst starts in recent memory, but in reality only three points separate it from the eighth place team in the tightly packed league tables. The last time they played at home, the Blues beat Aston Villa 2 -0. They are eager to forget their most recent away game, a 2-1 loss to West Ham that saw Mourinho expelled from the game and relegated to the bench for the team's next few outings.

Jürgen Klopp comes into this game with less pressure than his colleague but needing to claim his first win at Liverpool's helm. The team's first two games with its new coach ended in ties, 0-0 in an away game against Tottenham and 1-1 at home against Southampton. Liverpool hasn't won a game against Chelsea since Week 37 of the season 2011-2012, which ended in a 4-1 victory for the Reds. Of their six encounters since then, Chelsea won three and another three were ties.
