Hearts of Oak will be hoping to be at par with Asante Kotoko at the summit and put their rivals under pressure in the Ghana Premier League this weekend.

Sitting in second position and three points behind Kotoko, who do not play until Sunday, the Phobians will seize the opportunity to turn the heat on their rivals after they lost 1-0 against them on match-day-2.

The weekend's action gets under way at Bechem on Saturday live on SuperSport from 15:15GMT where the returnees, unbeaten in four matches test the might of David Duncan's Hearts of Oak who have already won two matches away from home this season.

The Phobians are aware that though the fixture presents them with an opportunity to go level on points with Kotoko temporally, they visit a tough ground where they have failed to win in two league meetings in the past.

On Sunday when the seven games will be played across the country, champions and leaders, Kotoko will make the trip to the Tema Stadium face basement boys, Inter Allies.

The Porcupine Warriors have made a hundred percent start to the season while their opponents, who are making their league debut have lost all four matches so far.

Elsewhere on Sunday afternoon, the battle between two recent former league champions will be on live on SuperSport when struggling Berekum Chelsea and Aduana Stars clash at the Golden City Park.

Medeama are another big side in need of a lift. Winless after four matches and having picked up just 3 points from a possible 12 points, the Mauves will be put to test at the Accra Stadium when they arrive for their meeting with Liberty Professionals.

In Kpando, Heart of Lions will be hoping to extend their good start when they take on Ebusua Dwarfs while Hasaacas will attempt to put behind their midweek loss to Hearts of Oak when they play New Edubiase at the Essipon Stadium.

AshantiGold will battle Amidaus Professionals at the Len Clay Stadium.

And in Kumasi, King Faisal will lock horns with Wa All Stars at the Baba Yara Stadium to round a busy weekend of top-flight action.
