Premier League fans in the U.S. need not worry about the upcoming round, as USA Network and NBC promise to televise half of the matches taking place in Matchweek 17.
USA Network will carry five games on its own, starting with the earliest kick-off and one of the standout fixtures: Aston Villa vs Manchester City.
The Cityzens enter this tricky test in atrocious form, winning only once in their last 11 matches across all competitions and having lost 2-1 at home last weekend in the Manchester Derby. Emery's side, on the other hand, have three wins in 11 in the league and will want to inflict more pain on Guardiola's team.
Manchester City are one of two Big Six sides in action on Saturday, with the other being Arsenal. The Gunners face Crystal Palace live on USA Network just days after beating the Eagles 3-2 in the Carabao Cup quarterfinal and will be aiming for another victory over the South London outfit.
Sunday ushers in two highly-anticipated showdowns, the first being Chelsea's trip to Everton as the Blues look to keep their winning streak going and maintain pressure on leaders Liverpool.
Speaking of Liverpool, they headline the must-watch tie of Matchweek 17, visiting under-pressure Tottenham for an 11:30 a.m. ET showdown. Salah and Co. are only two points ahead of Chelsea in the standings but have a game in hand while Spurs could drop into the bottom half with a slip-up.

NBC USA, on the other hand, will carry only one fixture this weekend. Fortunately for viewers, that sole match will be the Tottenham vs Liverpool battle, a clash that could throw a spanner in this season's title race.
