Stamford, Conn. – October 21, 2013 – U.S. Men’s National Team and Everton goalkeeper Tim Howard will join Arlo White on the call of the Chelsea-Manchester City match Sunday at 12 Noon ET on NBCSN. Howard will be in the booth one day after suiting up for Everton in their Saturday match at Aston Villa (10 a.m. ET on Premier League Extra Time and NBC Sports Live Extra).
“It is the first time we will have an active player in our announce booth,” said NBC Sports Group coordinating producer Pierre Moossa. “He has recently played against both Chelsea and Manchester City and will provide the viewer with a very unique perspective on not only the game but what it is like to face these current squads on the pitch.”
“It’s a real coup for NBC Sports to secure Tim’s services for this huge game,” added Arlo White. “Not only is he one of the best U.S. players of his generation, he has been mixing it with the best players on the Premier League for over a decade. His insights will be fascinating.”
