The English Premier League schedule is back for the weekend and there are a number of good matches going on and with Arsenal at the top of the EPL table, West Bromwich Albion plays against Norwich City at The Hawthorns and Crystal Palace will be taking on Cardiff City at Selhurst Park and the matches will be streaming live online from NBC Sports.
West Bromwich Albion is in the bottom half of the table at the number 13 position ahead of Stoke City and Cardiff City is down at 15, while Norwich City is number 16 and Crystal Palace is down with Fulham and Sunderland at 19 and any of these teams could use a win on Saturday. Arsenal has been playing very well this season and they are first on the league table over Chelsea and Manchester City and those three are tops ahead of Liverpool, Everton and Tottenham. Norwich City ran into the one man army that was Luis Suarez and he was unstoppable on Wednesday in a 5-1 victory for Liverpool, as he scored four goals in the match, including the first four of the game. He had three in 20 minutes at one point and apart from a Bradley Johnson goal, Liverpool dominated over Norwich.
Cardiff City and Stoke City played to a draw on Wednesday, while West Brom lost to Manchester city in a tight game that saw Man go up 3-0 before allowing two late goals.

Suarez is a controversial figure with a series of misdemeanors behind him, most recently the infamous bite he inflicted on Chelsea defender Branislav Ivanovic's arm in April which earned a 10-match suspension.
However, there is no denying his spell-binding talents as a striker and pundits were queuing up on Thursday to lord one of the best scoring performances in the history of the Premier League.
Uruguay international Suarez certainly enjoys facing Norwich and now has a remarkable tally of 11 goals in four games against the East Anglian club.
He opened up with an outrageous 45-metre volley that sailed past keeper John Ruddy before making it 2-0 by performing fleet-footed contortions to hook in a corner from close range.
The best goal of the night came when he took four Norwich defenders out of the game with a dynamic run and dribble and unleashed an unstoppable half-volley that again left Ruddy flailing at thin air.
Suarez put the icing on the cake in the second half with a trademark curling free kick from 25 meters that nestled in Ruddy's top corner, making him the league's top scorer this season on 13 goals.
Bradley Johnson pulled one back for Norwich before Raheem Stirling added a fifth goal to leave Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers purring with delight. Love him or loathe him, you simply cannot ignore Luis Suarez and there was no doubt which camp the former Liverpool favorite Robbie Fowler occupied after the Uruguayan produced a jaw-dropping four-goal show against Norwich City.
Fowler was christened 'God' by the Anfield faithful after plundering 183 goals in 369 appearances in two spells with the club and he joked that Suarez's exploits were making him and other Liverpool greats green with envy.
