After a two week international break, the Premier League returns with a very busy Saturday of six 10am ET/3pm UK matches as well as the huge 12:30pm ET/5:30pm UK clash between Arsenal and Manchester United. The reason why so many matches are being played today is because of UEFA Champions League commitments, which means that Arsenal, Man United, Liverpool, Manchester City and Chelsea will have a couple days rest before playing mid-week. Thus the congested schedule.
Here’s today’s TV schedule for viewers/readers in the United States:
Chelsea vs West Brom, 10am, NBCSN & NBC Sports Live Extra; Jim Proudfoot & Tony Gale
Manchester City vs Swansea City, 10am, NBC Sports Live Extra; Gary Weaver & Davie Provan
