Match 1 Soccer 6 Pool 20 January S6 V1 P2
League Rankings: City 3rd Ajax 16th
Useful facts: Struggling Ajax Cape Town were able to steal a win last Friday when they took advantage of Platinum Stars who are also having a tough season. The Urban Warriors came back from 1-0 down to claim a 3-1 victory at the Cape Town Stadium. The win and presence of newly acquired striker, Tendai Ndoro, who netted on debut, was a much-needed confidence booster for Muhsin Ertugral's side, who will look to register another when they play the Citizens this Saturday. However, Benni McCarthy's charges, who worked hard to regain their form in recent games, will look to maintain the unbeaten form against Ertugral's side since 2016. The Blue and Gold have claimed three wins in their last four meetings with the Urban Warriors.

Useful facts: With Liverpool and Chelsea having managed to catch the Red Devils and level on points, Jose Mourinho's side, who started the season on a high, will look to stretch their winning streak when they visit seventh-placed Burnley. They came off a comfortable win over Stoke City on Monday evening. Twelve points adrift of the log-leaders, the Red Devils will have to go on a consistent run of wins if they are to shorten the gap with Manchester City. The Clarets have not beaten United in five seasons. However, they were able to hold the second-placed side to a 2-2 draw at Old Trafford in December 2017.
