SuperSport viewers on DStv and GOtv can look forward to extended action from the Premier League, La Liga  and Serie A, with matches scheduled to run from Friday 21 to Sunday 23 January 2022.

DStv and GOtv is the only true home of football in Africa, offering a range and depth of action that no other rival can match – it’s literally ‘Unbeatable Football’! If you’re going to spend your money on something, it may as well be on the best football in the world.

The pick of Premier League matches this weekend arrives on the evening of Sunday 23 January when Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur renew their rivalry with a clash at Stamford Bridge. The Blues have fallen off the pace set by Manchester City as far as the title is concerned, but they will still hope to put at least some pressure on the reigning champions, while Spurs have looked a team reborn under manager Antonio Conte.

“I think that during the game when you create these chances to score you have to try to destroy these chances, especially in this type of game and against this type of opponent,” said the Italian, who has transformed Tottenham from a team which had lost its identity to one which is now very much in the hunt for a place in next season’s UEFA Champions League.

Manchester City, meanwhile, will hope to continue their sprint towards a second successive title when they face Southampton away from home on Saturday evening, while Everton will hope for home comforts when they host Aston Villa at Goodison Park earlier in the day.

“The important thing is we’ll only make signings if we feel they’re the right ones for the team and for the club to move us forward and to improve us. We won’t make them for the sake of it just to add volume,” said Villa boss Steven Gerrard in regards to his club’s January transfer plans.

Saturday also features Arsenal and Manchester United at home to Burnley and West Ham United respectively, while Leeds United and Newcastle United will have a six-pointer when they meet at Elland Road.

Sunday, aside from the Chelsea v Spurs clash, also sees Liverpool in action away to Crystal Palace, while Leicester City and Brighton & Hove Albion will be missing their key African players such as Wilfred Ndidi, Kelechi Iheanacho and Yves Bissouma for their meeting at the King Power Stadium.

SuperSport is also the only place to get English commentary on the legendary La Liga, where the top match for this round sees Atletico Madrid host Valencia at Estadio Wanda Metropolitano on the evening of Saturday 22 January.

The Rojiblancos’ defence of their title has been a disappointing effort thus far, with manager Diego Simeone and his charges looking to claim an emphatic home win to at least get their supporters back onside, while Los Che are working hard to put themselves in line for a top-six finish – and a subsequent berth in Europe for next season.

“Clear the mind, to be relaxed and to work,” said Simeone of what his team must do in 2022 to return to their best. “There are no shortcuts, we must find the desire in ourselves to remedy the situation we find ourselves in.”

Elsewhere, Real Madrid will hope to keep up their push to claim this season’s championship when they welcome Elche to the capital on Sunday afternoon. Manager Carlo Ancelotti is looking for his team to show the same hunger and intensity they had in the first half of the season.

“That work [in the first half of 2021-22] will mean nothing if we do not keep up the same standard now,” said the Italian. “This is no time to take our foot off the pedal. We have important games in La Liga, as well as the return of the Champions League around the corner.”

Barcelona, meanwhile, are very much in the hunt to end in the top four and ensure they play Champions League football next season, but they will face a tricky trip to the Basque country to take on Deportivo Alaves in the round-closing game on Sunday night.

“This is not the same Barcelona of a few years ago,” said new Alaves coach Jose Luis Mendilibar, who replaced Javier Calleja at the end of December. “But they still have great potency and danger to them… you can see the progress they have made under Xavi. It’s an important game for us as we look to fight against relegation.”

The top clash from this weekend in Serie A is the meeting of AC Milan and Juventus at the San Siro on the evening of Sunday 23 January. The Rossoneri are looking to keep themselves in the hunt for the league title, while the Bianconeri are aiming to rescue their poor (by their high standards) campaign and end in the top four.

“We are a little more organised on the pitch, but it’s not certain that we will use the same formation from the last few matches throughout the season,” said Juve coach Massimiliano Allegri. “The important thing is to approach the game well, to express ourselves, to play a good game and win. We’re behind in the league and the top four are moving very fast. We have to keep winning, step by step, then we’ll see.”

Another mouth-watering clash from Italy’s top flight this round sees Lazio welcome Atalanta to Rome, with the hosts looking to claim a major scalp. Le Aquile have struggled for consistency under manager Maurizio Sarri, but he is looking forward to facing La Dea.

“They [Atalanta] are a team at a very high level, looking to compete for the title. They are further in their development than us, but that does not mean we cannot be optimistic for this match. We will be at home and have the capacity for a strong result,” said Sarri.

The round opens on Friday night with Verona welcoming Bologna in a battle of teams looking to push into the top half of the table, while Saturday also features champions Internazionale welcoming Venezia to San Siro.

A busy Sunday is punctuated by the Milan-Juve clash, but also features Roma away to Empoli, Napoli hosting Salernitana and Fiorentina looking to claim three points on the road when they visit strugglers Cagliari at the Unipol Domus Stadium.
