EPL commentators on NBC: May 11 to 15, 2024
This is the penultimate weekend of the Premier League, and it could be instrumental for the Premier League title and relegation races. Arsenal, the current Premier League leader, leads Manchester City by one point. However, City has a game in hand on Mikel Arteta’s Gunners. City cannot mathematically clinch the title this week. Still, Arsenal’s trip to Old Trafford on Sunday could be instrumental for the title race.
Before then, Manchester City kicks off the weekend with a trip to Craven Cottage to play Fulham. Fulham has been a pesky side for some teams in the Premier League this season, and Craven Cottage is not an easy place to play. Yet, we are in the midst of watching a standard City run of success to close the season. City has not lost in league play since December 6. Moreover, when the two played earlier in the season, Erling Haaland’s hat trick propelled City to a 5-1 win.
Nottingham Forest can effectively, although not mathematically, clinch Premier League safety with a win at home over Chelsea. Forest currently has a three-point lead on Luton Town. With a vastly superior goal differential, Forest picking up three points would give it some security.
On the Monday after the United-Arsenal game, the ‘best’ game of the week is between Aston Villa and Liverpool. Aston Villa is on the cusp of clinching a spot in next season’s UEFA Champions League, which would be a phenomenal achievement for Unai Emery’s side.
