STAMFORD, Conn. – March 3, 2016 – NBC Sports Group’s Premier League coverage this weekend is highlighted by one of the most anticipated matches of the season, the North London Derby between storied rivals Tottenham and Arsenal this Saturday, Mar. 5, at 7:45 a.m. ET on NBCSN and NBC UNIVERSO. Both second-place Tottenham and third-place Arsenal are contenders for the title this season, trailing first-place Leicester City by three-points and six-points, respectively.

Spurs snapped their six-match Premier League winning streak with a 1-0 defeat against West Ham yesterday, while Arsenal look to rebound from yesterday’s 2-1 home loss to Swansea City. Tottenham have not been in second place or better this late in the season since 1985, and have lost only one of their last seven home Premier League matches against Arsenal. This is the 178th North London Derby, with Arsenal coming out on top in 75 matches and Tottenham winning 55 (47 draws).

NBC Sports Group’s lead play-by-play announcer Arlo White calls the match, joined by analyst Lee Dixon at White Hart Lane. Coverage begins at 7 a.m. ET with Premier League Live on NBCSN.
