EPL commentators on NBC: August 13 to 15

Matchday one in the Premier League was great. Underdogs Brighton, Fulham and Bournemouth pulled off strong results to start their seasons.

Three of the most impressive performances, however, came from the usual suspects. Arsenal kicked off its season with a comfortable win at Selhurst Park. Erling Haaland bagged a brace in his Premier League debut to the surprise of no one. Finally, Tottenham bludgeoned Southampton, 4-1, without Harry Kane or Son Heung-Min appearing on the scoresheet.

Fortunately, matchday two also brings some top-tier talent to television. Arsenal hosts Leicester in a quietly intriguing fixture. The Foxes threw away a two-goal advantage at home to Brentford to draw with the Bees. Meanwhile, Arsenal looks hungry for success after just one game.

On the topic of Brentford, many eyes are on their game against Manchester United. A dismal performance at Old Trafford spelled defeat to start Erik ten Hag’s tenure at Manchester United. With new transfers coming in and rumors still swirling about departure, the early microscope looms for the Dutchman in charge.

However interesting those games are, they lack the star power and significance of the Sunday finale on USA Network. Chelsea, which finished third a season ago, hosts Tottenham, perhaps the favorite to finish third this season. Antonio Conte returns to Stamford Bridge wielding a team rife with talent and desire. Tottenham sits at the top of the table (based off goal differential from matchday one), and Chelsea rolled out a win of their own.
