Premier League the goal in Just's unlikely journey
Having lived out one dream already this year, Swansea City's New Zealand star Elijah Just hopes his unusual journey will lead all the way to the Premier League.
Arsenal and Manchester City enter the weekend seeking to extend their flawless starts to the Premier League season, while Chelsea, Liverpool, and Manchester United aim to recover from recent disappointments. Brentford faces Chelsea at 8:00pm on Friday, with the Blues determined to rebound following a 0-0 draw with Hull City. The Premier League matches will be broadcast live on SS Premier League (DStv Ch. 203, GOtv Ch. 65).
Saturday's fixtures begin with Tottenham hosting Aston Villa at 12:30pm. Spurs are still in pursuit of their first league victory after a goalless draw against Everton and a 1-3 Carabao Cup loss to Liverpool in midweek. Villa, on the other hand, suffered a 2-1 defeat to Nottingham Forest in their last league game before a 3-1 Carabao Cup triumph over Coventry.
Brighton faces Arsenal at 3:00pm on Saturday, with the hosts having claimed all four league matches to date. Brighton have been in scintillating form, recording a 5-0 league win over Coventry and a 3-2 Carabao Cup victory over Manchester United. Nottingham Forest will host Coventry at 5:30pm, aiming to capitalize on their 2-1 win over Villa. Coventry is eager to prove its mettle following defeats to Brighton and Villa in its most recent outings.
Sunday's action kicks off at 2:00pm when Bournemouth hosts Liverpool. Liverpool suffered a goalless draw against Fulham last weekend but secured a 3-1 victory over Tottenham in the Carabao Cup. Bournemouth, meanwhile, drew 2-2 with Brentford before defeating Lincoln City 4-0 in the Carabao Cup. Manchester City takes on Sunderland at 2:00pm, hoping to maintain its immaculate league record after a 1-0 derby win over Manchester United. The match will be shown live on SS Football (DStv Ch. 205, GOtv Ch. 61).
Sunderland, meanwhile, lost 2-0 to Arsenal prior to a 1-0 Carabao Cup triumph over Hull City. The weekend concludes at 4:30pm with Fulham welcoming Manchester United. United will be seeking a response following its derby defeat, but its midweek Carabao Cup loss to Brighton adds further pressure after surrendering a 2-0 lead and eventually losing 3-2 to Brighton.
