M1 Black Leopards v Tshakhuma Tsha Madzivhandila: A local derby in Venda where Leopards are unbeaten in four past meetings with their local rivals. But TTM are three points above Leopards in the standings.

M2 AmaZulu v Lamontville Golden Arrows: Durban derby between AmaZulu, who have drawn their last two matches, and unbeaten Arrows with four draws in their last four games. Amazulu have won 11 of their past 23 clashes to Arrows' nine.

M3 Bloemfontein Celtic v Baroka FC: Celtic must get over the disappointment of losing in the MTN8 final at the weekend. Baroka are in third place in the early season standings.

M5 Arsenal v Southampton: A second successive home game for Arsenal, who have lost only one of their last eight games against Southampton.
