Highlighting NBC Sports Group's weekend slate of matches, second-place Chelsea aim to keep pace in the title chase Saturday against Sunderland at 12:30 p.m. ET on NBC. Lead Premier League play-by-play announcer Arlo White is joined by Jim Beglin for the call from Stamford Bridge.

NBCSN's weekend coverage begins at 7 a.m. ET Saturday with Premier League Live followed by Tottenham v. Fulham at 7:45 a.m. ET, and Cardiff City v. Stoke City at 10 a.m. ET. All matches not shown on NBCSN in the Saturday 10 a.m. ET window will be available on Premier League Extra Time, a bonus television package available to MVPDs at no Extra cost for customers who receive NBCSN.

NBCSN features coverage of three matches on Sunday, Norwich City v. first-place Liverpool and leading scorer Luis Suárez (29 goals) at 7 a.m. ET; Hull City v. Arsenal at 9:05 a.m. ET; and Everton host Manchester United and manager David Moyes, at 11:10 a.m. ET. Moyes, in his first season with Manchester United, returns to Everton, the club he managed for over a decade, for the first time on Sunday.

This Sunday's live, 60-minute Match of the Day at 1:30 p.m. ET features host Rebecca Lowe, former Premier League footballer Robbie Mustoe, and former Jamaican National Team player Robbie Earle providing in-depth analysis, post-match interviews and reaction, plus extended highlights with match commentators.

Premier League coverage continues next Monday, April 21 at 3 p.m. ET on NBCSN, when West Bromwich Albion, coming off of a dramatic 3-3 draw v. Tottenham this past Saturday, visit third-place Manchester City.

Liverpool's thrilling 3-2 victory over Manchester City last Sunday on NBCSN averaged 740,000 viewers ranking as the second-most watched early Sunday game ever in the U.S., behind only the Liverpool-Manchester United match on March 16 also on NBCSN (779,000 viewers).

All matches will be preceded and followed by Premier League Live pre- and post-match shows from the NBC Sports Group International Broadcast Center in Stamford, Conn. Lowe hosts Premier League Live alongside Mustoe and Earle.
