Down the Stretch They Come! EPL Weekend Preview

Now that our last dumb-assed international break is over, it’s nut-cuttin’ time for sure. And only one story is really worth following anymore – can everyone’s favourite underdog, Foxy Footy, hold off Spurs for the title? Theoretically, Arsenal still has a ghost of a chance, but in poker terms, it’s a “one out-er.”

Leicester start play on 66 points, Spurs 61, Arsenal 55 (but with a game in hand). Here are the matchups to follow:

Arsenal kick off first, as the featured match of the 10:00 EST window against free-falling 14th place Watford (NBCSN). You could always flip over to USA for some hot relegation action between Norwich and Newcastle (a loss would pretty much doom the Barcodes).

Next, Spurs have a tough matchup against the Redshite (12:30, big NBC). With 2 games in hand, Europa isn’t completely off the table for the rat bastards, so they have more to play for than just spoiler pride.

Especially if Spurs prevail, Leicester face massive pressure in the Sunday early fixture, with a tough home date against 7th place Southampton on deck (8:30, NBCSN). In all likelihood, this will be the most fun game to watch this weekend.

Least fun? The one that follows, my Blues walking into Old Trafford (11:00, USA) after a shitty break with face of the franchise Romelu Lukaku – apparently finally having had enough – making public comments about being ready to hit the road for greener pastures. Nice job shitting the pitch all season, Roberto Martinez. Don’t let the door hit you on the way out. As for Big Rom…Evertonians will ALWAYS love you no matter what.
