Peter Drury calls Liverpool v. Tottenham, joined by analyst Lee Dixon, and Steve Bower calls Leicester City v. Southampton, joined by Stoke City and U.S. Men's National Team player Geoff Cameron.

As previously announced, with PREMIER LEAGUE LIVE host Rebecca Lowe out on maternity leave, NBC Sports Group's lead Premier League play-by-play voice Arlo White will host PREMIER LEAGUE LIVE for the next two match weeks (April 2-3 and April 9-10) from the NBC Sports Group International Broadcast Center in Stamford, Conn.

"The last time I was in the Premier League studio in Stamford, I was desperately trying to keep a straight face as I watched Rebecca interview a certain Mr. Ted Lasso. That day will stay with me forever. How Rebecca got through it without falling into a heap of laughter I will never know," said White. "But she's a true professional, and it's an honor to be called across the pond to keep Rebecca's seat warm whilst she is away. Having done such a wonderful job anchoring our coverage, she will be missed, but I'll do my very best to meet the standard she has set."

Bower will host PREMIER LEAGUE LIVE from April 16-18 through the remainder of the season, which concludes on Championship Sunday, May 15.

Arsenal come off a 2-0 win over Everton, and look to keep their own title hopes alive by closing the 11-point gap between them and league leaders Leicester.

Live match coverage wraps up Sunday at 11 a.m. ET with Manchester United v. Everton on usa network and TELEMUNDO. Manchester United come off a crucial 1-0 victory over Manchester City in the Manchester Derby on March 20, which brought them level on points with fifth-place West Ham United.
