Top three Premier League matches this weekend

2. Cardiff City v Swansea City (Sunday, 3rd November – 9:30PM IST | ESPN & ESPN HD)

This rivalry may not be as big as the Manchester United-Liverpool or the north London derby between Arsenal-Tottenham, but it is surely one of the most hotly anticipated game in Premier League history as two sides from south Wales lock horns for the first time ever in the top division of English football.

Cardiff will have the honour of hosting the first ever South Wales derby in the history of the Premier League, which is regarded as one of the most fierce rivalries in Great Britain. A match that supporters of both sides have been looking forward to since the end of the last season. It will be the 106th time these teams have met, and the majority of games between the two have been full of animosity, tension and hatred. The Bluebirds have looked solid, so far, and a win on Sunday will take them above their arch-rivals.

The last time these two sides met was in February 2011, and Dave Jones’ side came out on top with Craig Bellamy scoring the only goal of the game. There is no doubt this one is going to be a thrilling affair and is simply unmissable.
