[QUOTE="IlliniFaninHoosierLand, post: 1541361, member: 85743"] Schedules have been announced for the first 3 rounds of fixtures with the potential Liverpool title-clinching Merseyside Derby on June 21 and Liverpool's match at the Etihad against Manchester City on July 2 the only matches with venues listed as TBD. The decision for the Merseyside Derby won't be made until next week as the match was originally scheduled to be played at Goodison Park but security concerns have made the decision for the venue to be delayed. Among the issues that Goodison Park has includes Victorian housing surrounding 3 sides of the ground, which would make it virtually impossible for police to impose an exclusion zone. The facilities inside the stadium aren't much better as there are narrow tunnels and small changing rooms, which would mean a visiting team like Liverpool would likely have to change in portable buildings set up in the parking lot. One other thing of note will be how some matches will be viewed here in the states. Seven of the matches, mainly with lower table sides, in those 3 weeks, will air on Peacock, the new streaming service from NBC, in addition to NBC Sports Gold. Where this becomes an issue is that Peacock is only available at this time to Comcast Xfinity subscribers who currently subscribe to either X1 or Flex. Peacock Premium, which is what you'll have to watch Premier League matches through, does not become available to the general public until July 15. You can get NBC Sports Gold for the remainder of the season through July 31 for $9.99 but that comes with the auto renewal for next season at $64.99. [/QUOTE]
