After a weekend of FA Cup action where Manchester United defeated Liverpool, the two clubs return to Premier League matches this week in their race towards the Premier League title. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s team faces Sheffield United in Wednesday’s only televised game, while Liverpool faces the daunting task of playing Tottenham Hotspur on Thursday in a match live from north London.
Only one of the matches features commentators from NBC Sports this mid week, which is the aforementioned Spurs-Liverpool game. Arlo White and Lee Dixon will be calling the game from the new White Hart Lane.
Elsewhere, Peacock TV will stream six matches from Tuesday through Wednesday including Southampton-Arsenal (in a rematch from just a few days ago after last Saturday’s FA Cup encounter), Chelsea-Wolves (without Blues manager Frank Lampard who was sacked this week), Everton-Leicester (which could end up being the match of the mid week games), Burnley-Aston Villa (in the battle of the clarets), and Crystal Palace-West Ham United (in a London derby). Last but not least, there’s a relegation battle between Brighton and Fulham on Wednesday.
