With less than one month remaining in the Premier League season and two points separating the top two teams, NBC Sports presents 14 matches in a five-day stretch, starting this Saturday, April 20 with second-place Manchester City v. third-place Tottenham at 7:30 a.m. ET on NBCSN and Universo. Famed English sports broadcaster Clive Tyldesley will call the match, joined by Lee Dixon.
Defending champion Manchester City look to reclaim the Premier League title with wins in their five remaining games, while Tottenham aim to solidify a place in the top-4. Only three points separate Tottenham and sixth-place Manchester United, as four teams look to lock up a spot in next season’s Champions League by finishing top-4 in the Premier League.
Premier League coverage continues Saturday, April 20 at 10 a.m. ET with four matches across NBC Sports. NBCSN presents Wolverhampton Wanderers v. Brighton & Hove Albion, and CNBC presents West Ham v. Leicester City. All four teams look to rebound after losses, with high stakes for Brighton & Hove Albion, who are still not safe from relegation.

Saturday’s coverage concludes with Newcastle v. Southampton at 12:30 p.m. ET on NBC. Separated by two points towards the bottom of the table, both teams look to remain above the relegation zone. Arlo White calls the match, joined by Graeme Le Saux.
Sunday’s coverage begins with Premier League Mornings at 7:30 a.m. ET, followed by Everton v. Manchester United on NBCSN and Telemundo. Paul Pogba and Manchester United look to collect three important points to remain in contention for a top-4 finish.

Arsenal is in the Europa League semi final & fighting for the 3rd place in the Premier League. The game needs to be shown on CNBC.
I had the impression that Derek Rae would be stepping into the early Saturday games for NBC but lately it seems to be Clive Tyldesley. I enjoy them both but I’m curious as to what happened.
Derek’s been traveling a lot so he hasn’t been in the UK as much lately.
That guy stays incredibly busy. He was in LA prepping for the Womens WC, then headed back to Europe after Easter, according to his twitter posts
That makes sense. Thank you, Christopher.
Note that NBC Sports Group has moved Ahmed Fareed from NBC Sports Bay Area (Downtown San Francisco) to NBC Sports Group HQ (in Stamford, Connecticut) to take over the hosting duties of Premier League on many weekdays (when Rebecca Lowe is “home” in Sacramento or Southampton) and Rugby.
When will NBC need Derek Rae again? Who knows?
Derek Rae will be at the Signal Iduna Park next Saturday commentating the Ruhr derby-
