The action commences on Sat., Feb. 28, with Manchester United vs. Sunderland at 9:55 a.m. ET / 6:55 a.m. PT. On Sun. Mar. 1, viewers will be treated to an exciting doubleheader of action, beginning at 6:55 a.m. ET / 3:55 a.m. PT with Liverpool vs. Manchester City, followed by Arsenal vs. Everton at 9:00 a.m. ET / 6:00 a.m. PT.

NBC UNIVERSO continues to provide unprecedented coverage across multiple platforms which include streaming through select pay-TV providers and on Video on Demand (VOD).

Gus Poyet's Sunderland squad comes into Old Trafford on the heels of a 0-0 tie versus West Bromwich Albion in their last Premier League fixture. The Black Cats have not scored any goals in their last two matches, and need to find an offense that will help them avoid falling further and closer to the relegation zone. The Red Devils saw their four-match undefeated Premier League streak end last week at the hands of Southampton, 1-0. Manchester United needs Robin van Persie, who returned from injury and dropped Colombian Radamel Falcao to the bench, to re-acquire his scoring ways.

The Reds of Brendan Rodgers come home to Anfield on a ten-match Premier League undefeated streak. In that time, Liverpool has ascended to sixth place on the table, a point behind their opponents and two shy of Manchester United for fourth place, the final Champions League qualifying spot. Manuel Pellegrini's squad holds on to second place on the table with 55 points, trailing league leader Chelsea by five. Manchester City has not lost in their last four fixtures and need for co-lead leading scorer Sergio Agüero (tied with 17 goals with Diego Costa) to continue his hot scoring ways.

Arsenal last defeated Crystal Palace, 2-1, to climb to third on the table with 48 points. The Gunners of Arséne Wenger, who look to extend their winning ways, welcome Everton to Emirates Stadium. The Toffees of Roberto Martinez have lost only once in their previous four Premier League encounters, albeit while only scoring three goals in the same stretch.

Legendary commentator Andres Cantor and former Mexican National Team player Manuel Sol will narrate all the action of all the matches.
