Premier League TV Schedule & Live Stream: When & Where to Watch Week 26 Feb. 21 - 22 Matches
The Barclays Premier League will test its Top 3 teams in Week 26, promising an exciting weekend for its fans across England and the globe.
Swansea City vs Manchester United
It's going to be a 1-1 draw between Swansea City and Manchester United, predicts ESPN FC, even though the latter is riding on the momentum of a victory against Burnley, 3-1.
Swansea wants to duplicate a win against the Louis van Gaal team at a season opener, even though the team's form has been fluctuating since Christmas, said Premier League.com. They have won only one of their past five outings, a Pro Soccer Talk report noted.
Man U, meanwhile, wants to preserve its spot in the Top 3, per another Pro Soccer Talk article. Their loss to Swansea in the beginning, put the whole squad in public scrutiny over its potential to get to the Top 5, the previous piece recalled, so its going to be tough if they loss this one.
Watch the match at 10 a.m. ET on NBCSN or via Live Extra. Also try ESPN.
Manchester City vs Newcastle United
The Etihad Stadium will host Manchester City and Newcastle United, with the Magpies out to derail the No. 2 team, said the latter Pro Soccer Talk piece. The game will be broadcast live, 12:30 p.m. ET on NBC, and ESPN online.
ESPN FC predicts a 3-2 result in favor of Man City, which will possibly debut £25-million striker Wilfried Bony -- side by side with Yaya Toure and Sergio Aguero. According to a report by The Guardian, the former Swansea player may be over-the-top personality-wise, but is very professional and efficient on the grass.
Newcastle's already injury-plagued defense will be tested, ESPN FC cautioned. It's going to be an uphill climb for them.
Chelsea vs Burnley
One of the biggest questions The Guardian wants answered is: "Can Chelsea get a bit of spark back?"
According to the report, the team, currently No. 1 in the league, is unquestionably the best nationally, but has been performing below expectations in recent weeks, highlighted by their lackluster wins against Aston Villa and Everton. Thus far, Chelsea has grabbed headlines for an issue related to racism, not superb game play.
Chelsea will win 3-0, predicts ESPN FC, even though Burnley leads its division in total goals shipped.
John Obi Mikel may be sidelined for Chelsea, while Burnley will probably use Stephen Ward again after more than two months out, since suffering a fractured ankle in December, noted the report.
Chelsea vs. Burnley will be on Premier League Extra Time and ESPN at 10 a.m. ET.
