EPL commentators on NBC: Oct. 21 to 23

Following the October international break, the Premier League returns with six teams inside four points of one another. Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal have been sensational this season with six wins and two draws. The two north London clubs lead the league with 20 points. Manchester City and Liverpool are lurking immediately behind on 18 and 17 points, respectively. Then, rounding out the current top six, Aston Villa and Brighton are both on 16 points.

The only game involving two of those clubs in one fixture is Brighton’s trip to Manchester City. Roberto de Zerbi has led a revolution at Brighton. However, Manchester City presents a different kind of challenge. City is rarely in a position where it comes from behind in the league. Pep Guardiola proved his side can do it last season.

The weekend’s action starts before then with a Merseyside Derby. Liverpool hosts a struggling Everton side at Anfield. Everton has picked up six points in its last three games. So, things may be turning around under Sean Dyche. On the contrary, Liverpool lost once and drew once entering the international break.

To cap off a busy Saturday, Chelsea hosts Arsenal in a familiar London clash. After another dismal start to the season, Chelsea found two wins just before the October international break. Pulling off a result against Arsenal would be the high-water mark for the Blues over the last calendar year.
