Saturday Premier League open thread

Tottenham Hotspur have the headliner match today on NBC at 12:30 pm ET (5:30 pm UK) but there’s a full slate of matches on before that.

Unfortunately, Spurs’ immediate rivals for top four are playing stupid teams today: Liverpool take on Swansea City, and Manchester United travel to Stoke. Both should be easily winnable for them, which makes Spurs’ match this afternoon that much more important. If ever we needed another 4-0 win over a quality opponent on the road, it’s now!

Here’s your open thread. The match rules are the same as always.

• Liverpool vs. Swansea City, 7:30 pm ET (12:30 pm UK)
