EPL commentators on NBC: April 6 and 7
A full weekend of Premier League action also brings the latest Fan Fest from NBC. Fans in Nashville will have the chance to see the NBC studio crew in person. With games like Manchester United-Liverpool and Brighton-Arsenal on the schedule, fans have some great opportunities. They will be able to watch these games with other Premier League fans. Also, they can meet and greet NBC’s crew.
The first game of the weekend features Manchester City at Crystal Palace. Erling Haaland, who shared some positive words ahead of the Premier League Fan Fest in Nashville, is not scoring at the same pace he did last season. Yet, he still has 18 goals in 24 league appearances this season. He did not play the last time City faced Palace, which yielded a shocking draw at the Etihad Stadium.
There is a crucial relegation battle this weekend when Burnley hosts Everton. The Clarets are hoping Everton picks up a points deduction that would make the prospect of survival more likely. As of now, Burnley is six points behind Nottingham Forest when it comes to safety. Everton is seven points ahead of Vincent Kompany’s side with a game in hand. However, if the Toffees pick up another points penalty, a win at Goodison Park would be massive for Burnley.
Finally, Manchester United’s game against Liverpool on Sunday morning highlights the weekend’s action. The two historic rivals drew earlier in the season, but this game means more. Liverpool controls its fate in the Premier League title race after the scoreless draw between Manchester City and Arsenal last weekend. Manchester United, on the other hand, is just trying to get into Europe after a season of struggling.
