Second-place Arsenal visits third-place Newcastle United on Sunday at 11:30 a.m. ET on USA Network and Telemundo in a crucial top-four matchup, highlighting Premier League action across NBC Sports this weekend.

Arsenal, who lost to Manchester City, 4-1, last week and have since fallen out of first place for the first time since February, are one point behind first-place City (Manchester City have one game in hand). Newcastle topped Southampton, 3-1, on Sunday and are two points ahead of fourth-place Manchester United, having played one more match than United. Peter DruryGraeme Le Saux, and Lee Dixon will call the match live from St. James’ Park.

Two matches will be presented live at 3 p.m. ET on Wednesday, as first-place Manchester City host West Ham (USA Network, Universo) and fifth-place Liverpool host Fulham (Peacock). Manchester City’s Erling Haaland, who scored in City’s 2-1 win over Fulham on Sunday, has 34 goals this season and broke the record for most goals in a 38-match Premier League season previously held by Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah (32 goals in 2017-18). Haaland is tied with Newcastle’s Andy Cole (1993-94) and Blackburn’s Alan Shearer (1994-95) for the most goals in a Premier League season (both 42-match seasons). Drury and Dixon will call the match live from the Etihad Stadium.
