English Premier League Saturday: Aston Villa, Arsenal Start England’s 15th Round

Arsenal’s visit to Villa Park kicks-off England’s 15th match day, with the Saturday morning festivities starting at 7:30 a.m. Eastern on ESPN2. With a victory, Arsenal will move top of the table, if only temporarily, while Villa, sitting a disappointing 13th place, could climb all the way to 8th, pending the day’s 10:00 a.m. Eastern kick-offs.

Then, seven of the weekend 10 matches will take place, a slate that includes the likes of Manchester United and Manchester City. The Red Devils are at home to Blackburn, where a win will send them top pending Chelsea’s Sunday visit to Newcastle. Fox Soccer Channel will have the live coverage. Meanwhile, City will have their chance to keep-up with the league’s leaders, needing three points at Stoke to do so.

Also kicking-off at 10:00 a.m. Eastern: Bolton hosts Blackpool in what promises to be the weekend’s most open match; Everton welcomes plummeting West Bromwich Albion to Goodison Park; Fulham and Birmingham City will both have aspirations of climbing away from the drop when they meet at Craven Cottage; Wigan will be of the same mindset at Upton Park against West Ham United; and Sunderland will look to take their unbeaten streak to five, at Wolverhampton Wanderers.

As always, SBNation Soccer will have coverage throughout the match day. Check back with this story stream to stay up-to-date on this morning’s action from the English Premier League:
