Showmax Premier League: your weekly watchlist: 13-17 December

The footballing world turns its gaze to the Etihad Stadium this weekend as Manchester City and Manchester United lock horns in what promises to be a fiery Manchester Derby. This historic rivalry has produced countless iconic moments, and this weekend’s encounter is no exception.

Manchester City, once the dominant force in English football, find themselves in unfamiliar territory, languishing in fourth position. Their recent form has been far from ideal, and they will be desperate to reclaim their winning momentum. Meanwhile, Manchester United, under the stewardship of new manager Ruben Amorim, have shown glimpses of their potential, but a recent defeat to Nottingham Forest has dampened their spirits.

Elsewhere in the Premier League, Arsenal face a rejuvenated Everton side. The Toffees have shown remarkable resilience and will look to capitalise on Arsenal’s recent inconsistencies.

Liverpool, the current league leaders, will have their work cut out for them as they host Fulham at Anfield. The Cottagers, known for their attacking flair and defensive solidity, will pose a significant threat to Liverpool’s title aspirations.

As the Premier League continues to unfold, these fixtures promise to be a feast for football fans. So, grab your popcorn, settle in, and prepare for a weekend of thrilling football action on Showmax Premier League.

The ballers decide to leave it all behind for the one place on Earth that truly values what’s on the inside: Los Angeles. In this modern-day fairytale meets buddy comedy, these five international soccer stars travel to America in hopes of finding true love with women unsuspecting of their status.
