NBC Sports’ coverage of the Premier League returns with the first matches of 2021 on Friday.
The action begins at Goodison Park in Liverpool with Everton hosting West Ham United, where the Toffees will climb into second place if they defeat the Hammers. Following that match is high-flying Manchester United who will go joint top if they can win against Aston Villa. In other games this weekend, highlights include Tottenham’s return to action after their midweek postponement against Fulham. The Lilywhites host free-scoring Leeds United. Then on Sunday, Chelsea-Manchester City promises to be an intriguing match.
Monday wraps up NBC’s Premier League “Festive Fixtures.” After Monday’s match, the Premier League takes a break until mid-January due to the FA Cup Third Round matches.

Who’s covering the brighton wolves n Chelsea man city for the world feed comms
One!!!! game on Peacock?!?!?! Disgrace.
What is going on with the number of games on Peacock? Has NBC changed their plan for how many games will be on Peacock? Really disappointing to have one game out of ten.
Liam McHugh just misidentified Andy Townsend for Matt Holland as he threw the game back to the 2nd half
Haven’t heard a lot of Steve Wilson but I like his style
