EPL commentators on NBC: Aug. 20 to 22

Just two games in, there is already a certain air around certain clubs in the English top flight. Liverpool’s two draws has them a quick four points back of Manchester City and Arsenal. Those two clubs are the only clubs with two wins through two. However, plenty of teams have high moments over the first two matchdays.

Spurs and Chelsea sit on four points after a heated draw at Stamford Bridge. Newcastle and Brighton picked up a win in matchday one before failing to find a difference-maker in their matchday two fixture. Finally, Brentford is tied for the best goal differential after ripping apart Manchester United, 4-0.

Manchester United’s dreadful start to the season does not get any easier. The Red Devils are back at home, which can be good. However, the team they face is a Liverpool side that is likely frustrated with its opening two games. Worse off for United, Liverpool won both the previous two encounters at Old Trafford by a combined score of 9-2.

Other notable games this weekend include Leeds United against Chelsea. There is certainly a hefty helping of American intrigue with this game. However, with Christian Pulisic’s name on the transfer rumor mill, could it be his last game for the Blues?

A quietly interesting game to keep an eye on is that between Newcastle and Manchester City. Newcastle cannot compete with Manchester City’s talent, but the Magpies are a dark horse for European qualification this season.
