DStv Subscribers To Enjoy Thrilling Football Action This Weekend, As Liverpool, Barcelona Aim To Bounce Back From Disappointing Defeats

This
weekend on DStv, lovers of the beautiful game will have the pleasure of
watching their favourite teams in action in the English Premier League
clubs and Spanish La Liga.

Football
action resumes in the Premier League following thrilling 5th round ties
in the FA Cup which saw league leaders Liverpool succumb to a 2-0 loss
to Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday. The Reds will aim to take a
step closer to their first Premier League trophy in 30 years when they
host Bournemouth at Anfield on Saturday.

The
pick of the litter in the league this weekend is without a doubt the
Manchester derby between Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City and Ole Gunnar
Solksjaer’s Manchester United Red at Old Trafford. The last meeting
between the two giants ended in a surprise 2-1 win for Manchester United
and the Red Devils will fancy their chances again to move closer to a
Champions League spot.

Manchester
City are going into the game in high spirits after lifting the EFL Cup
last weekend with victory over Aston Villa, and will seek to avenge the
loss suffered at the Etihad in December. City have won five matches in a
row in all competitions, but they still trail leaders Liverpool by 22
points with a game in hand to play.

In
La Liga, DStv subscribers will catch  a roaring Barcelona on
SuperSport, as the Blaugrana aim to bounce back from a disappointing
showing in the El-Clasico against Real Madrid last Sunday when they host
Real Sociedad at Camp Nou on Saturday. The reigning champions have won
their last 19 home games against Sociedad in all competitions, but
they’ll face stiff competition in their opponents who have won their
last three games in Spain’s topflight to rise to the sixth position on
the log.

Real
Madrid don’t play until a day later, so Barcelona could move two points
clear of their fierce rivals with a victory over Sociedad, with whom
they shared the points in a 2-2 draw in December. Current leaders Real
Madrid travel to Real Betis on Sunday.

In
Italy, the game that will keep football lovers at the edge of their
seats is the showdown between Juventus and Internationale on Sunday.
Both teams trail leaders Lazio two points and eight points respectively
but are still in contention for the Scudetto. Juventus could leapfrog
Lazio who aren’t in action at the weekend into first place if they
repeat the 2-1 victory over Inter in October.

All action will be live on SuperSport 3 & 10 this weekend. Details below:

• Watch Arsenal vs Westham at 4 pm & Barcelona vs Real Sociedad at 6:30 pm on SS10 this Saturday.
• Man U vs Man City at 5 pm on SS3.
