With only four weeks remaining in the Premier League season, it is anyone’s guess which one of the five clubs, currently ranked among the league leaders, will be sitting atop the table with first place Chelsea; and which of the those clubs will be on the outside looking in. NBC UNIVERSO, the modern general entertainment cable channel for Latinos, this weekend will bring you the drama of Premier League action as the league leaders begin to sort it all out. On Sat., May 2, Manchester United will play West Bromwich at 12:25 p.m. ET / 9:25 a.m. PT. On Sunday, Chelsea takes on Crystal Palace at 8:25 a.m. ET / 5:25 a.m. PT, and the Tottenham vs. Manchester City fixture will follow at 10:55 a.m. ET / 7:55 a.m. PT. Then on Mon., May 4, Hull City meets Arsenal at 2:55 p.m. ET / 11:55 a.m. PT. For fans not able to view the matches on TV, they can stream it live from their laptop at NBCUNIVERSO.com, or from their mobile device with the NBC UNIVERSO NOW app.
Man U, currently holding on to fourth place, need a maximum of six points from the final four fixtures to clinch a top-four slot following fifth place Liverpool’s defeat at Hull City in mid-week. The Red Devils were manhandled during last week’s fixture against Everton, giving up three goals to nil. For West Brom, despite having won only one of its last 21 league matches against United (1-4-16), it has the highest percentage of goals from set-pieces this season. If the Baggies are able to press, life for Manchester United could get very interesting.
Chelsea, for all intents and purposes, has already clinched a top four spot for post regular season play. Although their remaining fixtures might appear to be pro forma, they will have to stay sharp to accomplish their ultimate goal. Being on top of their game also applies to Crystal Palace, as they are coming off a two match skid, but have not lost three consecutive games all season long. The Eagles have recovered more points from losing positions than any other team in the league this season.
Manchester City, which is in second a place, have won seven and lost one of the last eight of their Premier League meetings with the Spurs. They have scored 15 goals in their last three league encounters with Tottenham and at least four in each match. The Spurs, who are currently tied with Liverpool for points and matches played thus far, are in sixth place and still have an opportunity to leap The Reds and make the cut of the final four, if they can just win.
Third place Arsenal have not conceded a first half goal in their last 13 Premier League matches. A victory for the Gunners this weekend could put some much desired distance between themselves and Man U, as well as catapult them ahead of Man City into second place. Hull come into this match on the back of a two-match winning streak. They, however, have won three Premier League matches in a row on only one previous occasion back in 2008.
Former Mexican National Team player Manuel Sol and soccer analyst Sammy Sadovnik will be making the call for the Manchester United vs. West Bromwich match on Saturday, the Tottenham vs. Manchester City match on Sunday, and the Hull City vs. Arsenal match on Monday. Legendary commentator Andres Cantor will join Manuel to call the Chelsea vs. Crystal Palace game also on Saturday morning.
