“It’s so rare to have three clubs this size threatened with relegation, which makes the gravitas, the jeopardy, everything even bigger.”Įverton’s large following of fans in the United States is another reason why NBC decided to anchor coverage from Goodison Park. “It paints a whole different picture of an end of a season. It would be great to have a title race as well, but this actually allows us to focus on relegation, which we so often can’t do,” said NBC Premier League host Rebecca Lowe. This is first time in NBC’s 10 years of carrying the Premier League that it will be on site for a match with relegation implications. Everton could be relegated with a draw and a win by Leicester City, which won the 2016 title. Everton have 33 points, two points clear of the relegation zone, but could find themselves out of England’s top division for the first time in nearly 70 years with a loss and a victory by either Leicester City or Leeds United. NBC’s studio crew and top announcer team will be at Goodison Park for Everton’s match against Bournemouth. With Manchester City having their title ceremonies last week after winning their third straight Premier League title and fifth in the last six seasons, it’s all about the fight to avoid relegation going into the final match day. LONDON: NBC’s Premier League team is used to covering the pomp and circumstance of the champions lifting the trophy on Championship Sunday.
