Showmax Premier League: your weekly watchlist: 5 May -11 May

All roads lead to Durban and the Moses Mabhida Stadium this weekend for a Soweto Derby showdown with silverware on the line!
The MTN8 final pits Kaizer Chiefs against Orlando Pirates in a highly anticipated clash, just one week after Pirates’ Betway Premiership victory.
The question on everyone’s lips: does that recent win give the Buccaneers an insurmountable mental edge? For Chiefs, the desire for a trophy burns bright after a frustrating season, and a victory over their arch-rivals would be a sweet, overdue reward.
Meanwhile, the Premier League in England is set to ignite. Liverpool and Arsenal go head-to-head in a battle of the top two, and the stakes are sky-high at St. James’ Park as Chelsea and Newcastle fight tooth and nail for a coveted Champions League spot.
Your front-row seat to all the drama awaits – tune into Showmax Premier League for live coverage.
