SuperSport to Broadcast FA Cup 5th Round, Key European Clashes
The FA Cup takes centre stage in England this weekend after the midweek Premier League games, while decisive fixtures unfold in La Liga, Serie A and Ligue 1. SuperSport will broadcast all the key action live on DStv and GOtv.
FA Cup: Giant-Killers Face Giants
FA Cup action begins Friday at 9:00 PM as Wolverhampton Wanderers host Liverpool. After their 2-1 Premier League victory over Liverpool 2–1 during the week, Wolves will believe another upset is possible.
Saturday opens with a classic mismatch at 1:15 PM as Mansfield Town welcome Arsenal, whose league position and miserly defence that is yet to concede in this season’s FA Cup, provide their lowly opponents with a mile-high odd. Mansfield, probably still high on their elimination of Burnley, will aim to claim another big scalp.
At 6:45 PM, Wrexham meet Chelsea in a high-profile tie that pits the Hollywood-backed side against the Blues, who arrive confident after a strong league win over Aston Villa.
The standout tie comes at 9:00 PM when Newcastle United face Manchester City at St. James’ Park. Newcastle carry momentum from their midweek victory over Manchester United, while City will look to respond after dropping points against Forest.
Sunday’s action features Fulham against Southampton at 1:00 PM before Leeds United host Norwich City at 5:30 PM. The round concludes Monday at 8:30 PM as West Ham United take on Brentford in a London derby.
All FA Cup matches air live on SS Premier League (GOtv Ch. 65, DStv Ch. 203).
La Liga: Title Pressure Builds
The La Liga title race has tightened following Real Madrid’s recent setbacks, allowing Barcelona to open a four-point lead while Atletico Madrid continue to climb.
Action begins Friday at 9:00 PM as Celta Vigo host Real Madrid. Madrid arrive under pressure, following consecutive defeats and must respond against a Celta side in strong form.
Saturday features Atletico Madrid against Real Sociedad at 6:30 PM before Athletic Club welcome Barcelona at 9:00 PM in a challenging away fixture for the league leaders.
