CAlvin expects KomphelA to be smiling After SwAllows cross swords with Chiefs

- Wanderers win

This week’s Soccer Laduma guest predictor is former Cape Town Spurs goalkeeper coach Calvin Marlin. SAt 25 Nov (14:30) - MAnchester City v Liverpool (English Premier LeAgue): It’s a blockbuste­r fixture between two top sides. City will aim to get back to winning ways following the thrilling draw against Chelsea. But they have several injury concerns, notably Erling Haaland and goalie Ederson. As for the visitors, they will be hoping for their potent frontline to be at best in a game that promises exciting action. Calvin Marlin: Draw

SAt 25 Nov (15:30) - AmAZulu FC v Stellenbos­ch FC (DStv Premiershi­p): This could well be a curtain-raiser to the Carling Knockout final seeing both sides have made it to the semis. AmaZulu’s Augustine Kwem, who scored a hat trick against Golden Arrows, will look to cause all sorts of problems, while Stellenbos­ch’s Iqraam Rayners could cause havoc too.

Draw

Calvin Marlin: SAt 25 Nov (17:00) - NewcAstle United v ChelseA (English Premier LeAgue):

With only two wins from their last five matches, the Magpies are a shadow of a team they were last season and playing in Europe is taking a toll. A defeat here will widen the gap between them and the top six. For Chelsea, striker Nicolas Jackson is becoming a key member of a team that Mauricio Pochettino is slowly moulding into a unit. Calvin Marlin: Newcastle United

Sun 26 Nov (15:30) - MorokA SwAllows v KAizer Chiefs (DStv Premiershi­p): Cavin Johnson is under pressure after suffering two defeats in his first three games in charge and defeat on Sunday could see him have a very short stay at the helm. Steve Komphela would enjoy nothing more than a victory against his former side. Calvin Marlin: Moroka Swallows

Mon 27 Nov (22:00) - FulhAm v WolverhAmp­ton WAnderers (English Premier LeAgue): Wolves travel to Craven Cottage minus a couple of key players. Joseph Hodge has been ruled out with a shoulder injury, while Pedro Neto is out with a thigh injury. A win will provide one of the teams a perfect opportunit­y to move away from the relegation zone. Calvin Marlin: Wolverhamp­ton
