It’s the start of the new football season with new battles, faces, and big stakes across Europe’s biggest stages. This weekend’s fixtures promise fireworks, live on DStv and GOtv.
Premier League Highlights: Transfers, Expectations & Headliners
Friday night: Liverpool begin their title defence against Bournemouth at 8:00 pm. Under Arne Slot, the Reds aim to steady the ship after their Community Shield upset to Palace, leaning on summer signings such as Florian Wirtz, Hugo Ekitike, and Jeremie Frimpong. All three have already shown flashes of brilliance in last Friday’s Community Shield, offering early signs of what is to come.
Saturday opens with two key showdowns: Aston Villa vs Newcastle United at 12:30 pm, and Wolves vs Manchester City at 5:30 pm. City’s high-octane front line, now featuring Omar Marmoush, must crack the Wolves’ defence that thrives at home.
Sunday sees Chelsea host Crystal Palace at 2:00 pm in a derby that carries momentum for both. Palace enters fresh from lifting the Community Shield, while Chelsea features rebuilt lines and creativity.
All of it builds toward the weekend’s centrepiece: Manchester United vs Arsenal at Old Trafford, 4:30 pm. United arrive with heavy investment behind Ruben Amorim—new names like Benjamin Šeško, Bryan Mbeumo, and Matheus Cunha signal a final push reset. Arsenal, bolstered by Gyökeres, Madueke, Zubimendi, and Mosquera, is determined to end a 22-year title drought.
Across the weekend, the English title race promises depth and competition like never before, with Mikel Arteta noting eight teams realistically in contention. Catch all the games on GOtv SS Premier League (GOtv Ch. 65, DStv. Ch. 203).
La Liga Highlights: Barcelona’s Title Defence Starts at Mallorca
Spain’s giants step back into action Saturday at 6:30 pm with Mallorca vs Barcelona, live on GOtv SS La Liga (GOtv Ch. 62, DStv. Ch. 204)). Mallorca, riding momentum from strong late-season form, faces the defending Catalan champions under Hansi Flick. While Barcelona hold the upper hand in recent head-to-heads, there are registration dramas. Joan García has been registered and may start in goal, while Marcus Rashford’s availability remains uncertain.
