The latest Premier League Mornings Live is taking place this weekend as the Premier League and NBC Sports team up to give our loyal supporters in the United States a fan festival where people can come together to celebrate their love for the Premier League and the coverage provided by NBC.

For the first time, PL Mornings Live heads to California and the historic Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum for the two-day event that will feature live action from nine Premier League fixtures, concluding with Manchester United v Liverpool.

Ahead of the festival opening, Premier League Hall of Fame inductee Alan Shearer and former Watford and USMNT star Jay DeMerit went along with some Premier League club mascots to see the sights in LA.
