EPL commentators on NBC: Nov. 11 & 12
As we head into the November international break, the Premier League leaves us with a fairly tame weekend. There is one standout game among the bunch. However, there are just two games involving teams in the top half of the table. Both of those are on Sunday. Fittingly, that includes the best matchup of the weekend.
However, on Saturday, the action starts when Wolves hosts Tottenham Hotspur. Fresh off their first loss of the campaign, Spurs faced damaging injury news with knocks to Micky van de Ven, James Maddison and Richarlison. Each will be out for over a month. The former two are out until the new year, according to manager Ange Postecoglou. Still, this is a strong Spurs side going up against a Wolves team that has been inconsistent this campaign.
The best matchups of the weekend, as stated, are on Sunday. The first of which is at Anfield when Liverpool hosts Brentford. Liverpool moved into third last weekend after Arsenal dropped points again. Now, it faces the Bees who have won their last three games in league play.
Wrapping up the weekend’s action, Chelsea hosts Manchester City. Chelsea, despite its 4-1 win over then-leaders Tottenham, has looked subpar for most of the season. Even in that win at Spurs, Chelsea benefitted from a pair of Tottenham red cards. In all likelihood, it will not have the same benefit against a disciplined and experienced Manchester City side. However, crazy things tend to happen at Stamford Bridge. Also, this is back-to-back games against the Premier League leading club for Chelsea.
