Berekum Chelsea

Berekum Chelsea will try to inflict another pain on Ashanti Gold SC at the Golden City Park on Sunday as they both search for seconds win of the season.

The Blues are coming to the party with a huge morale as they are unbeaten after their loss to Tema Youth FC in week one.

They have won one and drew two of their last three fixtures.

The 2010/2011 champions managed to pick an important point in the regional derby last Sunday when they held Bechem United to a one all draw after going ahead in the game.

Seth Larbi Appiah hope to continue his scoring form on Sunday against the Elephants.

He has bagged three goals in the last two premiership matches. There is no injury in camp as all players are available for selection.

Ashanti Gold SC on the other hand are determined to bounce back from their derby shy over the weekend when they slumped at home to 1-0 defeat to regional rivals Asante Kotoko SC.

The match had to be rescheduled to last Monday since it was rained off on Sunday. Scoreline was 1-1 when game was stopped in the 49th minute.

Former striker Yakubu Mohammed haunted them with the only goal of the match.

Kofi Owusu can't meet former club Berekum Chelsea on Sunday since he is now recovering from an injury. He was the league's top scorer in the 2014/2015 season during his stint with the Blues.

First choice goalie Robert Dabuo could make his first appearance for the Elephants this season after missing all four games.

He has now recovered from his injury.
