STAMFORD, Conn. – October 13, 2015 – Premier League action returns this weekend following a week of international play, highlighted by six live matches across NBC, NBCSN and USA Network. Coverage begins at 7 a.m. ET with Premier League Live, followed by Tottenham v. Liverpool at 7:45 a.m. ET on NBCSN.

At 10 a.m. ET on Saturday, NBCSN hosts coverage of Everton v. third-place Manchester United, and USA Network hosts coverage of Chelsea v. Aston Villa. Manchester United look to rebound following a 3-0 loss to Arsenal on Oct. 4, which coupled with a Manchester City win dropped the Red Devils from first to third in the Premier League.

Alexis Sánchez scored two of Arsenal’s three goals in their win of Manchester United on Oct. 4, bringing his season total to five (tied for third-most in BPL). NBC Sports Group’s lead Premier League play-by-play commentator Arlo White calls the match, alongside analyst Graeme Le Saux at Vicarage Road.
Following the match, NBC presents a 30-minute Goal Zone, hosted by Rebecca Lowe. Lowe will be joined by former Major League Soccer and U.S. Men’s National Team midfielder Kyle Martino and former Premier League footballer Robbie Mustoe.
