EPL commentators on NBC: Oct. 27 to 29

Truthfully it is a fairly tame weak in the Premier League. With the exception of one game, there is a clear-cut favorite in each Premier League game. Moreover, even the one headline fixture has a club most expect to win.

As expected, the headline game in this weekend’s slate is Manchester City’s game against Manchester United. The Manchester Derby happened three times last season. Each club won their home game in league play as City went on to win the title. Then, City defeated United in the FA Cup Final en route to winning the treble. In doing so, City became the second team from England to win the treble. It joined Manchester United in that honor. With United struggling, it hopes to ride its three-game wins streak into Old Trafford to pull off an upset over Pep Guardiola and City.

League-leading Tottenham gets the weekend started on Friday with a trip to Selhurst Park to face mid-table Crystal Palace. Ange Postecoglou has Spurs flying at the moment. As the current league leaders, Tottenham has not held a position this high at this point in the seasons since 1960/61. While it may be looking too far in advance, that was the last time the north London club won the league.

Elsewhere, there is an important game involving two of the relegation candidates in the Premier League. Bournemouth hosts Burnley in a game that could have significance for who goes down at the end of the season. Currently, the two clubs sit 18th and 19th in the league table. Therefore, any points are pivotal for survival even this early on.
