EPL commentators on NBC: March 30 and 31
This weekend brings one of the biggest games of the season. If it seems like that is becoming a common phrase in the Premier League, that is because there have been so many important games in the league recently. On Sunday, Manchester City hosts league-leading Arsenal in a game that could easily alter the outlook of the Premier League table.
Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal has been flying in the Premier League. After dropping points in four out of five games in December, Arsenal has not lost in the league. Moreover, its only losses in all competitions since the turn of the year were in the FA Cup against Liverpool and the first leg of the Champions League round of 16 against Porto. Manchester City has been showing immense signs of success, to no one’s surprise. Pep Guardiola’s side is unbeaten since Dec. 6 in all competitions. Yet, one of City’s three losses this season came at the hands of Arsenal.
Newcastle hosts West Ham to bring the Premier League back from the March international break. Both sides are in limbo right now as they are on the outside looking in for European spots. Newcastle, which was in the Champions League this season, is 10th in the Premier League. West Ham is currently in seventh and three points behind Manchester United. Yet, the Hammers have played one more game than their nearest rivals.
