Newcastle topped Southampton, 3-1, on Sunday and are two points ahead of fourth-place Manchester United, having played one more match than United.

Midweek coverage begins this afternoon at 2 p.m. ET with Premier League Live on USA Network leading into Arsenal hosting Chelsea at 3 p.m. ET on USA Network and Universo.

Two matches will be presented live at 3 p.m. ET tomorrow, Wed., May 3, as first-place Manchester City host West Ham (USA Network, Universo) and fifth-place Liverpool host Fulham (Peacock).

Haaland is tied with Newcastle’s Andy Cole (1993-94) and Blackburn’s Alan Shearer (1994-95) for the most goals in a Premier League season (both 42-match seasons). Drury and Dixon will call the match live from the Etihad Stadium.
