Currently occupying 8th spot in the EPL standings, Arsenal will host Southampton at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday. With only one win out of three league encounters for the Gunners in this campaign, they will be hoping home-ground advantage will play a role against an already-wounded Southampton, who have only picked up two points so far this season.

Bidvest Wits v Cape Town City (MTN8)
League rankings: Bidvest Wits 3rd Cape Town City 2nd
Useful facts: In 10 meetings between these two sides (since City were Mpumalanga Black Aces), the historical record shows them to be somewhat evenly matched, with five draws and three wins for Wits, while City (formerly Aces) have two wins. Both sides won their opening two games of the season as well. However, it was former Wits star Sibusiso Vilakazi who netted the brace to hold Black Aces to a 2-2 draw in their meeting last May, which may not bode well for Gavin Hunt's team, who will have to find a different avenue through which to get the result.
Banks Setlhodi: I'll give it to the home team (Wits). It's hard to lose at home.
Arsenal v Southampton (Premier League)
League rankings: Arsenal 8th Southampton 15th
Useful facts: With three wins from their last six against Arsenal, Southampton will feel confident of getting the result in this game, despite the Gunners having lost only one of their past 13 Premier League games. The London club scored only four times in those six encounters, so they may struggle to break down the Saints' defence.
Banks Setlhodi: Arsenal.
Valencia v Real Betis (La Liga)
League rankings: Valencia 20th Real Betis 17th
Useful facts: Neither side has begun their league campaign on a positive note, with Valencia's two losses putting them rock bottom of the table. Betis drew their last game against Deportivo, but can be confident of a win here as they have lost only two of their past six encounters against Valencia, drawing one and winning the other three. However, they have failed to win any of their past six away games, so this one could go down to the wire.
Banks Setlhodi: Tough… I think it'll be Valencia.
