Hull City and Southampton are playing live on Tuesday for the Barclays English Premier League schedule and the match will be from the Kingston Communications Stadium and streaming online from the NBC Sports Network Live Extra starting up at 2:45 pm ET and comes before the break next week for the FA Cup and the match starts just before Chelsea takes the pitch against West Brom.
The match is one of a handful on Tuesday before the busy day on Wednesday and Chelsea finishes things off late with West Bromwich, while Norwich City and West Ham United are playing and so are Aston Villa and Cardiff City and that will be at the CC Stadium and those matches start up at 2:45 pm ET as well, with the Blues playing at 3 pm. The Blues are in first place coming into the day and that comes before Wednesday's big matches and that has Arsenal taking on Manchester United and that will be at the Emirates Stadium and the top match of the schedule this week.
Manchester United will be looking to recover after their tough draw against Fulham at Old Trafford and that came after the club came back from a 1-0 deficit to take a 2-1 lead late, but Man U allowed a goal in extra time and that ended things in a draw. Arsenal comes into the day embarrassed their last time out, as Arsene Wenger's club lost at the Anfield to Liverpool and that allowed Chelsea to jump over the Gunners by one point after their win against Newcastle on Saturday. Chelsea was coming in after a win against Manchester City that snapped their winning streak and their overall streak, which was best in the EPL and they also hadn't lost at the Etihad in what felt like months.
Coming into the day, Chelsea is in first place on the league table and they will be looking to push that lead out of reach with a win on Tuesday and that would keep the Gunners back until the schedule picks up the week after next. Arsenal will be looking to get back into things after losing bad against Liverpool and the Gunners now have a one point lead over Manchester City, so that is not safe either and they could end up being in third place when all is shaken out this week. Man City is behind the Gunners and just ahead of Liverpool and they are up over Tottenham in fifth place. Tottenham jumped head of Everton and now the Spurs are in fifth and Manchester United is behind Everton in seventh after their draw and they are four points clear of Newcastle on the table.
Southampton comes into the match after a draw with Stoke City and they have some tough matches coming up, including against Sunderland in the FA Cup Round 5 and the team also plays against Manchester City at the Etihad later in the season and they also have a trip to White Hart Lane to play Tottenham and a home matchup with Manchester United at the end of the season.
