At 10:30 a.m. ET, it’s a five-goal thriller at Etihad Stadium in January 2012, when Manchester City edged Tottenham, 3-2. After Spurs came back from a 2-0 deficit, Mario Balotelli won the game for City with a stoppage-time penalty.
Then at 11 a.m. ET, NBCSN revisits a dominant Arsenal win at Manchester City in October 2010, when the Gunners capitalized on an early dismissal of Dedryck Boyata to win 3-0. Goals from Samir Nasri, Alex Song and Nicklas Bendtner helped Arsenal move up to second in the Premier League table.
Saturday’s slate culminates at 11:30 a.m. ET on NBCSN, with soccer personality Roger Bennett hosting a special edition of THE MEN IN BLAZERS SHOW.
