Asia’s leading sports broadcaster, will telecast Live and exclusive top soccer
action from the English Premier League and the Spanish Football league this weekend.
The leading sports network will showcase its proprietary properties Premiership
Saturday and Super Sunday showcasing top class action from the world’s best
football leagues.
Liverpool gets into action against rivals Everton in
the Merseyside Derby on Saturday. Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez has a different
kind of a problem in hand; strikers to start with. With Peter Crouch and Dirk
Kuyt scoring for their countries mid week and Craig Bellamy showing class against
the mighty Brazilians, Benitez will have to figure out the best two of the lot
to start against Everton. Liverpool will still be missing Jamie Carragher and
John Arne Riise with ankle injuries. Everton on the other side is looking to go
further up in the table with a win against old rivals. Though without striker
James McFadden, the Toffees will look at posing a tough competition for the Reds.
Also on Saturday, Manchester United will play host to Tottenham Hotspur.
Spurs have been boosted by the return of captain Ledley King, who missed the club’s
opening three games while recovering from surgery on his knee. Coach Martin Jol
confirmed the England international will play against United but the centre-back’s
return is tempered by the probable loss of £10.8million striker Dimitar
Berbatov. He is almost certain to miss out with a groin strain suffered on international
duty with Bulgaria. In the Primera Liga, defending Champions Barcelona
will take on Osasuna. Barcelona will look to bounce back after their less than
convincing start to the season. With Ronaldinho back in Barca colour, coach Frank
Rijkaard will hoping to things back in order Catch the top teams in action,
