With the kickoff to the 2014 English Premier League season just four weeks away, NBC Sports released coverage plans on Wednesday, complete with scheduled broadcasts for the first three months of the campaign.
The 2014-15 season's first kick will come on August 16, seeing Swansea City visit Old Trafford at 7:45 a.m. ET. A complete list of the remaining 129 fixtures (via NBC Sports) are listed below. But rather than sort through such lengthy text, here are the top five early-season Premier League fixtures that should immediately be circled on your calendar.
5. Arsenal vs. Tottenham: Saturday, September 27, 12:30 p.m. ET (NBCSN)
The North London derby has added an extra bit of spice with Arsenal's acquisition of Alexi Sanchez. The native Chilean has plied his trade the last few seasons in Barcelona, but will look to introduce himself to one of England's premier rivalries on Sept. 27.
4. Chelsea vs. Arsenal: Sunday, October 5, 9:05 a.m. ET (NBCSN)
Two of the biggest offseason spenders will be on display at Stamford Bridge. Other than the newly acquired talent of the aforementioned Sanchez, Chelsea's Cesc Fabregas, Luis Filipe and Diego Costa will also be gracing the pitch on Oct. 5.
3. Liverpool vs. Chelsea: Saturday, November 8, 7:45 a.m. ET (NBCSN)
The last time Chelsea visited Anfield, the club was able to capture a stingy 2-0 victory. Steven Gerrard's iconic stumble still haunts the Kop, ultimately costing the Reds their first league title in 24 years. The first opportunity for redemption comes on Nov. 8.
2. Manchester City vs. Manchester United: Sunday, November 2, 8:30 a.m. ET (NBCSN)
The next chapter of the Manchester Derby is ready to be written. Each of the last three league titles have resided in Manchester, with the Citizens bookmarking a pair outside of Manchester United's last. The rivalry picks up where it left off on Nov. 2.
1. Manchester City vs. Liverpool: Monday, August 25, 3 p.m. ET (NBCSN)
The top two clubs from the 2013 season first collide just nine days into the new campaign. Liverpool's inability to close out their remaining fixtures saw Manchester City capture the league title by a mere two points. The Reds will look to claim what they believe is rightfully theirs at Etihad Stadium on Aug. 25.
