Showmax Premier League: your weekly watchlist: 3 February-9 February

Football fanatics, prepare yourselves! If you thought last weekend’s football feast was good, you’re in for a treat this week.

The action is coming in thick and fast, with mouthwatering clashes across the globe that are guaranteed to keep you on the edge of your seat.

We’re talking decisive Carabao Cup semi-final second legs and a colossal showdown in South Africa.

In England, the Carabao Cup drama reaches fever pitch. Both Liverpool and Arsenal face uphill battles as they look to overturn deficits and secure their places in the final.

Arsenal, fresh off their emphatic 5-1 demolition of Man City, have a mountain to climb, needing to wipe out a two-goal disadvantage against a Newcastle side smarting from a loss to Fulham.

Meanwhile, Liverpool, buoyed by their hard-fought 2-0 victory over Bournemouth, must overcome a one-goal deficit against a Tottenham Hotspur side riding high after their 2-0 win against Brentford. Can Arsenal pull off a miracle comeback? Will Liverpool defend their Carabao Cup title? The stakes are sky-high!

Closer to home, the South African football scene is set to explode following the drama of the Soweto Derby. This weekend, Orlando Pirates lock horns with league leaders Mamelodi Sundowns in what promises to be an absolute humdinger.

Pirates, riding the wave of their victory over rivals Kaizer Chiefs, have a golden opportunity to close the gap at the top of the table. Can they capitalise on their momentum and derail the Sundowns juggernaut?
Don’t miss a single moment of the drama! Catch all the action live on Showmax Premier League.
