EPL commentators on NBC: May 7 and May 8

It is crunch time in the Premier League. Liverpool and Manchester City hit speed bumps in the Champions League this past week.

Surely, a number of fans were looking forward to another meeting between the two in the Champions League Final. After all, the two sides played to remarkable games earlier in the season. However, Liverpool will be the English representative in Paris later in May.

Looking at the Premier League, Liverpool is still in the hunt for the quadruple. The Reds host Tottenham in a rare Saturday afternoon game. Liverpool still trails City, which plays Newcastle on Sunday, by one point.

Tottenham also has positioning to play for. Spurs trail rivals Arsenal by two points for that ever-valuable fourth spot in the Premier League. The Gunners are expected to grab another three points when they host Leeds.

Leeds United, Everton and Burnley remaining in a contentious battle in the relegation zone. Everton holds a game in hand over its two rivals in the table. Yet, the Toffees are two points behind both Leeds and Burnley. Everton is at Leicester City on Sunday and Burnley hosts Aston Villa. The relegation battle is as entertaining, if not more so, than the races towards the top of the table. Everton’s dramatic result against Chelsea a week ago demonstrated the emotions there.

Manchester United’s ailing season nears its end. United is playing game No. 37 on the season out of 38 total. Champions League placement is all but evaporated. Even then, a spot in the Europa League is still up for grabs.
