With eight of the ten teams in the top half of table
dropping points last weekend, Matchday 10 of the English Premier League moves past
the quarter pole of the season with a log jam developing at the top of the
standings, with a three-way tie at the top of the table and two more teams
lingering only a point behind. The
foundation looks to be laid for a season long battle for the Premier League
trophy and you can catch all of the action live on the NBC family of networks
or online at NBC Live Extra.
Saturday (all times eastern)
10am – Leicester City
@ Tottenham – White Hart Lane, NBC Sports Network
Tottenham missed their chance to go top of table but remained
unbeaten on the season, thanks to goalkeeper Hugo Lloris coming to their rescue
throughout to save a point for Spurs in a 0-0 draw with Bournemouth. They will welcome Leicester City to White
Hart Lane on Saturday with the Foxes finally transferring their sensational
Champions League form, where they remained unbeaten last week to virtually guarantee
the European debutants a spot in the knockout rounds, over to league play as
they ended a three-match winless run in a comfortable 3-1 home victory over
Crystal Palace.
The win kept the defending league champions unbeaten at home
this season (W3 D2) however, it has been their road form away from the King
Power Stadium that has Leicester languishing in the middle of the table, eight
points off the pace, with their shock defeat away on the opening weekend to the
newly promoted Hull City followed by losses to Liverpool, Manchester United,
and Chelsea, leaving the Foxes still searching for their first away victory of
the season, one in which they will hope to finally secure this weekend in their
visit to White Hart, where they have lost just once in their last five visits
(W2 D2).
12:30pm – Liverpool @ Crystal Palace – Selhurst Park, NBC
Liverpool remained unbeaten in their last ten games across
all competitions (W8 D2) with two first half goals enough to see them past the
always resolute West Brom 2-1, and move the Reds into a three-way tie at the
top of the table on twenty points, trailing Manchester City and Arsenal only on
goal differential. They will look to
continue their rise up the standings when they travel to the cauldron of noise
that is Selhurst Park where they will face the struggling Crystal Palace, whose
loss to Leicester was their second in three games and dropped the Eagles into
the bottom half of the table.
After going unbeaten in their previous five league games (W3
D2) to earn their eleven-point haul on the season, the dip in form has brought
back still fresh memories of Palaces’ dismal second half showing in last year’s
campaign, when a fourteen-game winless run took the Eagles from fourth place
all the way down to a relegation battle by seasons end, with a trip to the FA
Cup Final and survival in the top flight their only consolation prizes from a
lost season. With wins in three of their
last four meetings against the inform Liverpool (L1), they will hope to put to
bed any notion of a repeat performance.
Sunday (all times eastern)
9:30am – West Ham
United @ Everton – Goodison Park, NBC Sports Network
West Ham United had chances throughout as they tried to get
past bottom dwellers Sunderland, but it was their final chance of the game in
the final seconds of injury time that proved the difference, as defender
Winston Reid’s effort found its way through a sea of legs and into the back of
net and a 1-0 victory for the Hammers. They
will try to make it three wins in a row when they travel to Goodison Park to
take on Everton, who remained winless in their last four games (D2 L2) after
they overcame a first half deficit only to be done in by a 90th
minute decider against the run of play in a 2-1 loss to Burnley.
The recent dip in form has threatened to undermine the
Toffees blazing start to the campaign, where they went unbeaten in their first
five matches to kick off the season, with wins in four of those contests
cementing their place in the top half of the table. Despite West Ham looking as if they have
shaken off their early season struggles, the home side will be confident of
getting back in the win column this weekend in what is likely to be a barn
burning affair, with losses in just one of their last sixteen meetings with the
Hammers (W10 D5) and only one of their last nine matchups at Goodison Park (W5
D3).
