Crystal Palace at 7:30 a.m. ET on NBCSN and Universo. Manchester City sit in the fourth and final Champions League position, as four Premier League giants jockey for a top-four finish come Championship Sunday – third-place Liverpool, City, fifth-place Manchester United and sixth-place Arsenal. With a game in hand over Liverpool, City look to gain crucial points against Crystal Palace after coming off a 2-2 draw at Middlesbrough.

Saturday at 10 a.m. ET, NBCSN presents coverage of Hull City v. recently-relegated Sunderland, while CNBC hosts coverage of Leicester City v. Watford. Leading into the end of the season, the third storyline is the fight to avoid relegation. 17th-place Hull City are just two points above the relegation zone, and are looking to extend that gap when they host Sunderland.

Coverage continues Saturday at Noon ET with Premier League Live on NBC, followed by Swansea City v. Everton. The Swans are fighting relegation as well, and currently sit in 18th place, two points from safety. NBC Sports Group’s lead Premier League play-by-play commentator Arlo White calls the match, joined by analyst Lee Dixon at Liberty Stadium. Rebecca Lowe hosts Premier League Live and Goal Zone, joined by former Major League Soccer and U.S. Men’s National Team midfielder Kyle Martino, and former Premier League footballer Robbie Mustoe.

Saturday at 11 a.m. ET, NBCSN and Telemundo host coverage of sixth-place Arsenal v. fifth-place Manchester United. The Gunners, in jeopardy of missing out on a top-four finish for the first time under manager Arsene Wenger, face United, who enter the weekend one point off the top-4. White calls the match, joined by analysts Dixon and Graeme Le Saux at Emirates Stadium.

On Monday, May 8, coverage begins at 2 p.m. ET with Premier League Live, followed by a clash between a team aiming for the title, and one looking to avoid relegation, as league-leaders Chelsea host 19th-place Middlesbrough.
