STAMFORD, Conn. – April 25, 2019 – With Championship Sunday less than three weeks away, the Premier League “Race to the Finish” heats up this weekend, as NBC Sports presents ten matches in a three-day stretch, starting tomorrow, Friday, April 26 at 3 p.m. ET with second-place Liverpool v. Huddersfield, followed by tripleheaders on Saturday and Sunday. Arlo White calls Friday’s match, joined by Lee Dixon.
Following Manchester City’s win in Wednesday’s Manchester Derby, Liverpool sit one point behind the league leaders and face the possibility that their Premier League title-drought will continue. With just three remaining match days this season, the battle for a top-4 finish also continues, as just six points separate third-place Tottenham and sixth-place Manchester United.
Premier League coverage on Saturday, April 27 kicks off at 7 a.m. ET with Premier League Mornings, followed by Tottenham v. West Ham on NBCSN and Universo. Tottenham look to solidify their spot in third-place and secure a spot in next year’s Champions League. At 10 a.m. ET, NBCSN presents Fulham v. Cardiff City. While Fulham have already been relegated, Cardiff City hope to remain in the top-flight next season.
Also at 10 a.m. ET, CNBC presents Southampton v. Bournemouth and NBC Sports Gold presents Crystal Palace v. Everton and Watford v. Wolverhampton Wanderers. NBC Sports Gold’s “Premier League Pass” is available for $19.99. Fans can purchase the discounted pass here.
Saturday’s coverage concludes with Brighton & Hove Albion v. Newcastle at 12:30 p.m. ET on NBC. Only three points above the relegation zone, Brighton & Hove Albion aim for their first Premier League win since the beginning of March. Arlo White calls the match, joined by Dixon.
Sunday’s coverage begins with Premier League Mornings at 6:30 a.m. ET, followed by a triple-header on NBCSN. At 7 a.m. ET, Leicester City host Arsenal, followed by first-place Manchester City visiting Burnley. Manchester City would clinch their second consecutive Premier League title with wins in their final three matches.
NBC Sports’ Premier League coverage concludes on Sunday, April 28 at 11:30 a.m. ET with sixth-place Manchester United v. fourth-place Chelsea on NBCSN and Telemundo. Separated by only three points, the two teams face a critical battle in determining the top-4 picture.
Rebecca Lowe hosts Premier League Mornings, Premier League Live, and Goal Zone, joined by former Jamaica National Team player Robbie Earle and former Premier League footballer Robbie Mustoe.
“THE IMPOSSIBLE DREAM”
In celebration of the 20th anniversary of Manchester United’s historic 1998-99 season, NBC Sports debuts “The Impossible Dream,” a look back at the club’s unprecedented run to the three most prestigious club trophies an English team can win — the Premier League, the FA Cup, and the Champions League. Manchester United clinched the three trophies – known as “the Treble” — in a thrilling stretch many fans recall as the “10 Days in May.”
“The Impossible Dream,” a two-hour movie co-produced with Manchester United, premieres this Sunday, April 28 at 2:30 p.m. ET on NBCSN, following the Red Devils’ match against Chelsea. The movie will also stream on NBCSports.com, the NBC Sports app, and on MUTV globally. Fans can download and subscribe via the MUTV App to watch the movie on demand.
