Man Utd v Man City (Premier League)
League rankings: Man Utd 3rd Man City 1st
Useful facts: The match of the weekend sees the blue half of Manchester meet the Red Devils, with both teams in fine form. Three wins on the trot for either side makes it hard to separate the two and United's record of eight wins from their last nine home matches will give them confidence. However, three wins for City in the last six derbies will give them an added psychological advantage over José Mourinho's men.
Banks Setlhodi: Draw.
Liverpool v Leicester (Premier League)
League rankings: Liverpool 11th Leicester 9th
Useful facts: Last season's champions have struggled against the Reds in recent years and have lost three of their last six against them. Both teams are on an identical run of form, however, and have won, lost and drawn each of their last three games. Leicester are undefeated in 14 of their last 15, but Liverpool have not lost any of their last eight home games.
Banks Setlhodi: Liverpool. Leicester won't be able to cope.
Chippa Utd v Mamelodi Sundowns (MTN8)
League rankings: Chippa United 3rd Mamelodi Sundowns 10th (yet to play)
Useful facts: Sundowns go into their clash with the Chilli Boys having won all of their last four encounters and will also be boosted by their superior historical record, which has seen them beat Chippa on 16 of the 30 previous games between the two. However, Chippa will feel somewhat optimistic as they have won their first two games of the season.
Banks Setlhodi: I'll give it draw.
Swansea v Chelsea (Premier League)
League rankings: Swansea 14th Chelsea 2nd
Useful facts: The Premier League returns this weekend, as Chelsea prepare to travel to Wales to face Swansea in a game that has yielded good fortunes for the Blues in the past. Having won four of their previous six games against Swansea, Chelsea will hope to continue their run of three consecutive wins and push for the top spot on the table, with both Manchester teams facing each other on the weekend.
Banks Setlhodi: It's hard… I'll give it to Chelsea.
