EPL Commentators on NBC: Oct. 7 & 8

Just before the October international break, Premier League clubs try to send their players out with wins. That may be easier said than done for some clubs.

Just before the October international break, Premier League clubs try to send their players out with wins. That may be easier said than done for some clubs. Some of the top clubs are struggling mightily. Others see the hiatus for national team play as inopportune based on good form.

Regardless of all that, the highlight of the weekend is Arsenal’s game against Manchester City. These two clubs finished first and second in the Premier League last season. In the current campaign, they are off to a similarly strong start. Manchester City’s lead at the top of the table is just one point. Two clubs, Tottenham and these Gunners, sit behind City by the narrowest of margins. This Arsenal-City game is one of the most anticipated games of the entire season.

Joining that game on Sunday are two major clashes. West Ham’s form may have tapered off a little bit with tough games against Liverpool and Manchester City. However, following a win over Sheffield United, West Ham looks to break back into the top spots with a game against Newcastle. Fresh off a frenzy against PSG in the Champions League, the Magpies are on an all-time high.

Also on Sunday, Alexis Mac Allister returns to Brighton as Liverpool looks to bounce back from a brutal loss at Spurs. The officiating may have hurt Liverpool last weekend, and Liverpool dropped down to fourth.
