The English Premier League schedule for 2012-13 kicks off soccer action on Saturday morning. The early game will feature Arsenal vs. Sunderland live streaming online. The game will also be shown on ESPN, right after a special preview show.
The EPL Arsenal vs. Sunderland live stream gets going at 9:50AM EST on Saturday morning, with plenty of questions heading into this brand new Barclays season. Fans with the WatchESPN service in their particular region will be able to watch the game on the Internet and will get a firsthand look at some of the Arsenal team's newest players, who will be looking to get off to a good start.
According to ESPN's recent preview article, those players include Lukas Podolski, Olivier Giroud, and Santi Cazorla. They'll be looking to "pick up the slack" left now that former star player Robin van Persie has left the team. During the 2011-12 campaign, he had 30 goals during league play to lead the team, so these three new stars will attempt to equal that output. The team ended up finishing third overall in the Barclay's Premier League.
Meanwhile, Sunderland had a 13th place finish, and they'll certainly want a hot start for the newest EPL season to surge towards a better overall position. The team has won the FA Cup twice during its history. However, these big victories came in 1937 and 1973, and nothing has materialized since. Could this opening Premier League game be the start of a better finish in 2012?
It all begins at 9:50AM EDT on WatchESPN and ESPN, with the Arsenal vs. Sunderland live streaming online and televised coverage. Which team do you expect to emerge victorious?
