STAMFORD, Conn. – April 3, 2019 – With less than two months to Championship Sunday, NBC Sports’ Premier League coverage heats up this week with nine crucial matches in the next six days. Starting at 2:45 p.m. ET today on NBCSN, Tottenham host Crystal Palace in the first senior match at the brand-new, state-of-the-art Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Prior to kickoff, NBCSN will present the new stadium’s entire opening ceremony uninterrupted. Arlo White and Lee Dixon will call the historic match in north London.

Also at 2:45 p.m. ET today, NBC Sports Gold presents two exclusive matches: Chelsea v. Brighton & Hove Albion and Manchester City v. Cardiff City. Only two points behind league-leading Liverpool, 2nd-place Manchester City aim for three points as a step toward reclaiming the Premier League title. Meanwhile, just three points separate 6th-place Chelsea and 3rd-place Arsenal, raising the stakes as the final weeks of the Premier League season begin.

NBC Sports Gold’s “Premier League Pass” is available for $19.99. Fans can purchase the discounted pass here.

Premier League coverage returns on Friday, April 5 with Southampton v. 1st-place Liverpool at 3 p.m. ET on NBCSN and Universo. Mohamed Salah and Liverpool remain unbeaten in their last 11 Premier Leagues matches, and look to carry their first-place spot through the final weeks of the season. Meanwhile, 16th-place Southampton are just five points clear of the relegation zone.

On Saturday, live coverage begins with Premier League Mornings at 9 a.m. ET, followed by Newcastle v. Crystal Palace at 10 a.m. ET on NBCSN and Universo. Both clubs aim to claim a spot in the top half of the table within the next six weeks.

Also at 10 a.m. ET, NBC Sports Gold presents Bournemouth v. Burnley, and Huddersfield v. Leicester City. After last week’s loss, Huddersfield became the first team relegated from the Premier League this season.

On Sunday, 3rd-place Arsenal visit Everton at 9:05 a.m. ET on NBCSN. Arsenal jumped into third-place after a 2-0 defeat of Newcastle, extending their Premier League unbeaten streak to six matches.

The week of extensive match coverage concludes on Monday, April 8 with Chelsea v. West Ham at 3 p.m. ET on NBCSN. After Monday’s match, NBCSN at 5:30 p.m. ET presents a new episode of THE MEN IN BLAZERS SHOW hosted by popular soccer personalities Michael Davies and Roger Bennett, who will be joined by actor Joe Dempsie.
