Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard has won 7 major trophies during his 15 seasons with the club, but he has never won a Premier League title.
Sounding off with NBC Sports Group’s Premier League analyst ROBBIE MUSTOE:
What I am most looking forward to this Premier League season is…
Seeing who will be the new King of the Premier League: new manager Manuel Pellegrini (Manchester City), Jose Mourinho (Chelsea) or David Moyes (Manchester United)?
I am preparing for this season of telecasts by…
Scouring Twitter for all the rumors and transfer news, and utilizing NBC Sports Group’s fantastic research department.
Before I go on air, I need…
A lot of help from make up!
There is no way…
One team will run away with the title this season.
If I’m not watching soccer, I like to…
Go mountain biking or golfing.
NBC Sports Group will make available in the United States all 380 games from the Premier League. That’s more than anywhere else on the globe (including the U.K.).
