There are four massive Premier League games coming up on Sunday, so make sure you don’t miss out.
Here’s a quick preview of what to look out for as the ‘Clash of the Cash’ takes place between Chelsea and Manchester City at Stamford Bridge, and there’s the small matter of a huge Tyne-Wear derby up in the Northeast at the Stadium of Light.
Whatever game you decide to watch, NBC Sports has got you covered on NBCSN, Premier League Extratime or you can watch it all live online via NBC Sports Live Extra.
9:30am EST: Sunderland vs. Newcastle *NBCSN
The Magpies and Mackems square off with both sides desperate to record a win, especially the home team. New Sunderland manager Gus Poyet saw his men lose 4-0 at Swansea on his debut, and the Black Cats have lost seven and drawn one of their eight PL games so far. Can the passion and pride of a derby get Sunderland going this season? They hammered Newcastle 3-0 at St. James’ Park last season, so revenge is on the minds of Newcastle’s fans. Make sure you don’t miss this blood and thunder affair.
12:00pm EST: Chelsea vs. Manchester City *NBCSN
Two title contenders clash in West London, as Chelsea and Manchester City are clambouring to make up ground on Arsenal at the top of the table. Jose Mourinho’s Blues are ominously clicking through the gears, as the ‘Special One’ finally gets his best team out on the pitch and stamps his authority on the Londoners. Man City are doing the same under Manuel Pellegrini, and after winning two away games in the last seven days, can City make it three? USMNT ‘keeper Tim Howard will provide commentary for the game, the first-active PL player to do so for NBC.
12:00pm EST: Tottenham vs. Hull City *Premier League Extra Time
Spurs return from Europa League action in Moldova on Thursday aiming to keep up with the chasing pack in the PL. Hull are missing four key players for the trip to White Hart Lane, as ‘keeper Allan McGregor, Danny Graham, Sone Aluko and Robbie Brady look to be out. Tottenham will bring back Kyle Walker, Paulinho and Andros Townsend as they aim to continue their splendid start to the season, with Hull hoping to cause an upset after their great start.
12:00pm EST: Swansea City vs. West Ham *Premier League Extra Time
The Swans gave up a late goal in Europa League action on Thursday to draw, but following their thumping 4-0 win over Sunderland last week things are back on track in the league. It’s been a real mixed bag so far for Michael Laudrup’s men and the same can be said for West Ham, who beat Spurs 3-0 away but were then hammered at Upton Park by Man City last week. Hard to predict, so definitely a game to watch out for.
