Premier League, Matchday 3
The Premier League weekend kicks off on Friday night as Aston Villa host Crystal Palace under the lights, setting the stage for a packed few days of top-flight football. Saturday opens with a London derby at Stamford Bridge, where Chelsea welcome Fulham in a clash that always carries local pride. Meanwhile, Manchester United will look to assert their home dominance as they face Burnley, while Manchester City hit the road on Sunday to take on Brighton in what promises to be a high-tempo contest.
One of the most anticipated fixtures of the weekend arrives late Sunday afternoon, as Liverpool and Arsenal go head-to-head at Anfield. This showdown has historically delivered fireworks, with both teams pushing for top honours and playing an expansive brand of football. Whether you’re backing the Reds’ formidable home form or the Gunners’ evolving resilience on the road, this encounter is likely to have major implications for the title race. With both clubs consistently in the hunt for silverware, expect intensity, drama, and moments of brilliance in a fixture that rarely disappoints.
Elsewhere on Saturday, Tottenham Hotspur will be aiming to maintain early momentum against a tricky Bournemouth side, while Wolverhampton Wanderers take on Everton in a battle that could prove vital in the bottom half of the table. Sunderland face Brentford in an intriguing clash from the Championship, and Newcastle visit Leeds later that evening.
Sunday also features Nottingham Forest vs West Ham in a game with European aspirations potentially on the line. But all eyes will be on Anfield when Liverpool and Arsenal lock horns.
African Player to watch
Alex Iwobi (Nigeria / Fulham)
·Born: 3 May 1996 in Lagos, Nigeria
·Nationality: Nigerian
·Position: Attacking midfielder, winger
·Senior career: Arsenal (England, 2015 – 2019); Everton (England, 2019 – 2023); Fulham (England, 2023 – present).
·Career stats: 367 appearances, 39 goals
Alex Iwobi’s role for Fulham in their away match against Chelsea on 30 August 2025 will be to unlock a tight, high-stakes London derby. He’ll serve as the creative fulcrum, using his progressive passing to bypass Chelsea’s defensive lines and link midfield to attack. His vision, movement and positional versatility will be pivotal – shifting between left, centre or right as Silva’s fluid system demands – and his pressing intensity will help ignite Fulham’s transitions.
Catch Iwobi in the following match on Saturday 30 August, 13:30: Chelsea v Fulham – LIVE on SuperSport Premier League and SuperSport Maximo 2
La Liga, Matchday 3
La Liga action returns this weekend with a full slate of fixtures, kicking off Friday night as Elche take on Levante, followed by Valencia hosting Getafe in what promises to be a fiercely contested encounter at Mestalla.
Saturday’s spotlight turns to Atletico Madrid, who travel to Alaves in the early evening clash. Known for their defensive organisation and relentless intensity, Atletico will be targeting three points to stay competitive in the title race. Later, Real Sociedad make the trip to Real Oviedo, while Sevilla face a tricky test away at Girona, who have proven to be a tough side at home.
The headline fixture on Saturday night features Real Madrid as they welcome Mallorca to the Santiago Bernabéu. The hosts, with their quality and depth, will be expected to dictate proceedings, though Mallorca’s disciplined approach could pose challenges. Madrid will need to find the right rhythm early to break down a side capable of frustrating even the best.
Sunday brings more top-tier action, concluding with Rayo Vallecano vs Barcelona in the capital. Barcelona, aiming to keep pace at the top, will be wary of Rayo’s spirited home form. Matches between these two have seen surprises before, and the Catalans will need to be sharp to avoid slipping up.
Earlier in the day, Celta Vigo face Villarreal, while Real Betis take on Athletic Club in what could be one of the weekend’s most balanced matchups. Espanyol also clash with Osasuna, adding to a jam-packed Sunday before Barça’s late kick-off rounds things off.
African Player to watch
Etta Eyong (Cameroon / Villarreal)
·Born: 14 October 2003 in Douala, Cameroon
·Nationality: Cameroonian
·Position: Midfielder, forward
·Senior career: Cadiz CF (Spain, 2022 – 2024); Villarreal (Spain, 2024 – present).
·Career stats: 89 appearances, 36 goals
Etta Eyong, a dynamic midfielder/forward who has stepped up from Villarreal B in the past year, brings energy and unpredictability. He’ll be relied upon to inject creative spark and direct pace during transitions, exploiting fatigue in Celta’s defence late in the game. His goal-scoring instincts and versatility to shift between midfield and forward roles make him a useful wildcard capable of changing the tempo and outcome of this late Sunday afternoon clash.

Serie A, Matchday 2
Italian football fans are in for a treat this weekend with a full Serie A schedule packed with intrigue and top-tier clashes. The action begins on Friday as Cremonese host Sassuolo, followed by AC Milan travelling south to face Lecce – a tricky away fixture under the lights.
Saturday’s attention quickly shifts to the reigning champions Napoli, who host Cagliari at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona. Known for their attacking flair and high-tempo style, Napoli will look to control proceedings from the outset, but Cagliari’s resilience could make for a cagey encounter. At the same time, Roma make the trip to face Pisa, aiming to assert themselves on the road. Roma will need to be clinical against a side known for making life difficult for visiting teams.
Earlier in the evening, Bologna take on newly promoted Como, and Parma meet Atalanta in what could be a high-scoring affair given both teams’ attacking setups.
Sunday’s spotlight is on Juventus, who travel to face Genoa. The Turin giants will be aiming for a professional performance in a stadium that has often proved a tough place to visit. Later in the evening, Inter Milan take on Udinese at San Siro in a fixture where the hosts will be expected to dominate possession and push for all three points to maintain their title ambitions.
Elsewhere, Torino meet Fiorentina in a balanced clash, while Lazio round off the weekend’s action as they host Verona in Rome, looking to build momentum with a strong showing at home.
African Player to watch
Andre-Frank Zambo Anguissa (Cameroon / Napoli)
·Born: 16 November 1995 in Yaounde, Cameroon
·Nationality: Cameroonian
·Position: Midfielder
·Senior career: Olympique Marseille (France, 2015 – 2018); Fulham (England, 2018 – 2022); Villarreal (Spain, 2019 – 2020); Napoli (Italy, 2021 – 2022 loan, 2022 – present).
·Career stats: 361 appearances, 13 goals
Zambo Anguissa anchors Napoli’s midfield with his trademark blend of physicality, tactical intelligence, and ball retention. Expect him to screen the backline, break up Cagliari’s build-up, and seamlessly recycle possession. His progressive carrying and press resistance will underpin Napoli’s patient build-up, while also enabling swift transitions. Though not overly creative offensively, his presence steadies play and launches attacks – embodying the engine room of Antonio Conte’s fluid and energetic midfield set-up.
