Tottenham vs United, City vs Liverpool Headline Actions On SuperSport This Weekend

The race for the Premier League title and Champions League slots gathers pace this weekend, with several crucial fixtures shaping the early title and top-four race.

Saturday opens with a major clash between Tottenham and Manchester United on SS Premier League (DStv Ch. 203, GOtv Ch. 65). Tottenham’s fast start to the season has stalled following a 1-0 home defeat to Chelsea, though a 4-0 midweek victory over Copenhagen in the Champions League provided some relief. Manchester United remain unpredictable, showing both grit and fragility in their 2-2 draw at Nottingham Forest after three consecutive wins. Both sides need a result to keep pace with the top of the table.

At 4:00 p.m., Everton host Fulham at Goodison Park. Everton are without a win in three matches, while Fulham snapped their losing streak with a commanding 3-0 victory over Wolves last weekend.

Sunderland welcome league leaders Arsenal at 6:30 p.m. Arsenal continue their outstanding run, extending their clean-sheet streak to nine matches in all competitions after defeating Burnley and Slavia Prague. Sunderland, sitting fourth, will hope to halt the Gunners’ charge after being held to a 1-1 draw by Everton.

Chelsea face Wolves at 9:00 p.m. in a meeting of contrasting fortunes. Chelsea’s narrow win over Spurs and a 2-2 draw against Qarabag in Europe have lifted spirits slightly. At the same time, Wolves are rooted to the bottom and parted ways with manager Vítor Pereira after three consecutive defeats.

Sunday’s fixtures open with Brentford against Newcastle United at 3:00 p.m. Brentford’s two-game winning streak ended in a 2-0 defeat to Crystal Palace, while Newcastle will look to build on their Champions League win over Athletic Club despite inconsistent domestic form.

The weekend concludes with a heavyweight meeting between Manchester City and Liverpool at 5:30 p.m. The match, as every other game of the weekend, will be live on SuperSport on DStv and GOtv. City, second in the table, recovered from their Brighton setback with victories over Bournemouth and Dortmund. Liverpool, meanwhile, ended their league slump with a 2-0 win over Aston Villa and followed up with a narrow triumph against Real Madrid in Europe.
