EPL Drama Live on SuperSport: Arsenal Host Man United, Man City Under Pressure

The Premier League heads into a decisive weekend with the title race and relegation battle both intensifying, and SuperSport set to broadcast all the action live on DStv and GOtv.

Arsenal remain top with a seven-point cushion, but a winless run among the chasing pack has tightened the competition beneath them.

Saturday’s fixtures open at 4:00 pm with Manchester City hosting Wolves. City, sitting second, are under pressure after back-to-back defeats and a four-game winless streak in the league.

Defensive injuries have exposed weaknesses, while Wolves, bottom of the table but unbeaten in their last four, arrive with confidence and little to lose.

At the same time, Burnley take on Spurs, with coverage on SS Action (GOtv Ch. 66, DStv Ch. 206) due to the clash with City’s game.

Spurs’ strong European form has yet to translate into domestic consistency, as they remain winless in four league matches. Burnley, despite being 19th, have taken points off Liverpool and Manchester United in recent weeks and will look to frustrate again.

The late Saturday kick-off sees Bournemouth host Liverpool at 6:30 pm. Liverpool, currently fourth, have been held to a series of league draws but showed signs of renewed attacking fluency with a dominant midweek win in Marseille.

Bournemouth, struggling since the departure of Antoine Semenyo, face a Liverpool side eager to turn momentum into points.

Sunday begins at 3:00 pm with Crystal Palace against Chelsea. Palace are winless in eight and face uncertainty over Oliver Glasner’s future, while Chelsea have responded positively under Liam Rosenior, climbing to sixth after consecutive wins in both the league and Europe.

Also at 3:00 pm, Newcastle welcome Aston Villa in a crucial contest for the top four. Newcastle’s home form remains strong, while Villa arrive after a demanding midweek trip and a league defeat that has raised concerns about fatigue. All Premier League matches will be shown live on SS Premier League (DStv Ch. 203, GOtv Ch. 65).

The weekend concludes with the headline clash at 5:30 pm as Arsenal host Manchester United. Arsenal remain clear at the summit despite consecutive draws, while United, revitalised under Michael Carrick, come into the game buoyed by a statement derby victory over City.
