Stamford Bridge will see off an interesting encounter as Chelsea host Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool side on Friday, 16 September. The away team has been in good form as they have just come off a 4-1 win at the expense of current EPL title holders, Leicester City. The Blues, on the other hand, have won three of their four league encounters and will be hoping to secure another three points.
With two matches played in the German Bundesliga, both Borussia Dortmund and Darmstadt have won one and lost one game. As they go into their third encounter at the Signal Iduna Park, Dortmund will be looking to catch up with Bayern Munich in their bid to challenge for the league title.
The second-leg of the MTN8 semi-final will take place at the Cape Town Stadium on Saturday evening. With Cape Town City trailing by three goals, this seems to be a mountain to climb for Eric Tinkler's men, while Wits will be feeling confident and will hope to add more goals to their tally.

Chelsea v Liverpool (English Premier League)
League rankings: Chelsea 2nd Liverpool 5th
Useful facts: A classic Premier League clash sees Chelsea, who are undefeated in 12 of their last 13 Premier League games, take on Liverpool, who are coming off the back of a massive 4-1 victory over champions Leicester. Historically, the Blues have a slight advantage, with two wins against Liverpool's one from the last six, however a draw seems the likely result, with three stalemates being played out in that timeframe.
Fire Masilela: Liverpool 2–0.
Borussia Dortmund v Darmstadt (Bundesliga)
League rankings: Dortmund 8th Darmstadt 12th
Useful facts: Both sides have met only twice in recent history, with Dortmund winning one game and the other ending in a draw. It is likely Dortmund will register a win, given that they've won 19 of their last 22 Bundesliga matches, but, with both sides having won one and drawn one of the two opening games this season, it remains to be seen whether Darmstadt can cause an upset.
Fire Masilela: Borussia will win 2–0.
Cape Town City v Bidvest Wits (MTN8)
League rankings: Cape Town City 2nd Wits 3rd (PSL)
Useful facts: Following last weekend's 3–0 demolition of new-boys City, Wits go into this match feeling confident that they will be able to secure wins in all three of their games this season. City, on the other hand, may be left reeling after their perfect record was in tatters by Gavin Hunt's men. Eric Tinkler will be desperate to grab his first win over the former SuperSport United mentor, but City will hope to make use of home-ground advantage to overcome the 3–0 deficit and book their place in the final.
Fire Masilela: 2–0 to Wits.
