Hmm are Gary Weaver and Danny Higginbotham gonna be viewed on the Sky Sports feed as well?
Neither of the two 9am/2pm (UK) matches are being broadcast live in the UK. However, Gary Weaver and Danny Higginbotham are both there on behalf of Sky and their commentary will be used on the highlights shown later that evening. The only matches this weekend that Sky doesn’t provide the commentators for are the Chelsea, Leicester, Arsenal & Liverpool matches – because the UK live matches are handled by IMG.
In addition to the above list, the world feed comms for Chelsea/Spurs is Jim Proudfoot & Andy Townsend and Arsenal/Everton is Peter Drury & Andy Townsend.
Good to see CNBC being utilized on Sunday for once

Who’s gonna be on Tottenham V Chelsea world feed?
English sport isn’t like the US, with the home team second so it’s Chelsea v Spurs 😉 Comms done by Jim Proudfoot & Andy Townsend for the world feed.
Finally Gary Weaver is back on PL duty and alongside Danny, they make a formidable commentary pair.
Who’s on world comms for Leicester vs Manchester City and Arsenal vs Everton
Leicester/City is Drury & Beglin. See above for Arsenal/Everton.
Palace V Newcastle is Blacker I thought is gonna be Joe Speigh & no goal rush this weekend I Wonder why on 3pm games can somebody clarify this?
Just had to say the Commentators yesterday for Liverpool – West Ham on NBCSN were outstanding. Peter Drury was fantastic in building up the drama as the second half went on.
