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

Arsenal sits in third place among the standings after kicking its way to a perfect win record for the month of March. The club will look to continue its winning ways against Liverpool, who is ready to again take THE PITCH following the international break. However, the match will not be an easy stroll in the park for Arsenal as the Reds are looking to even the score and fight to be back among the top-four teams vying for the championship. Earlier this season, the two teams played out a 2-2 draw at Anfield, while in last season's corresponding fixture, Arsenal claimed a 2-0 win.

Despite Aston Villa's current standing near the bottom of The League rankings, the boys from Witton are expected to give Manchester United all it can handle when the two clubs square off this weekend. United have worked themselves into an excellent position in the Premier League table going into the Villa contest. The club is on a two match win streak, sitting in second place, and looking to make Aston Villa its next casualty.

Chelsea will enter its match against Stoke City sitting atop the leader board and looking to continue its quest for the Premier League title with only eight matches remaining in the regular season. For Stoke City, it's looking to pull-off the upset as it holds 10th place in the Premier League standings. In their last five head-to-head meetings, The Potters have been narrowly outscored by The Blues eight goals to seven.

For Burnley, which currently sits among the three worst teams in the Premier League, every match is a must win if it doesn't want to make the walk of shame and not return to League competition next season. The club will look to avoid its ongoing embarrassment when it travels to Tottenham to take on the Spurs, who are also fighting for a share of the top four finishers at season's end.

Legendary commentator Andres Cantor will join Former Mexican National Team player Manuel Sol to narrate the action of both the Arsenal vs. Liverpool, and Manchester United vs. Aston Villa matches. Soccer analyst Sammy Sadovnik will be joining Sol to call the Chelsea vs. Stoke City and the Burnley vs. Tottenham contests.
