Berekum Chelsea

Berekum Chelsea are hosting reigning champions Wa All Stars at the Golden City park this Wednesday in a match day thirteen fixture. 

The Blues could move into the top four with a win. They had an easy one last Sunday when they dispatched lower tier side Nsoatre Stars FC by 3-1.

Randolph Armah made ten changes in his side's 3-1 win in the MTN FA Cup. Collins Ameyaw was the only player who was maintained from the squad that played against Ebusua Dwarfs.

Augustine Henneh has recovered from his injury and is available for selection on Wednesday. Club's top scorer Stephen Sarfo is returning after serving a match suspension.

Wa All Stars are geared towards extending their away unbeaten streak to six by picking at least a point at the Golden City park in the midweek.

The Northerners have not lost in any of their last five away games.

They managed 2-0 past regional rivals Dark Horses to progress to the next round of the FA Cup last Saturday.

Right back and skipper Hafiz Adams is expected to start on Wednesday after recovering from an injury.

Rashid Seidu is making comeback from suspension for Wednesday's fixture. He was sent off against Aduana Stars a fortnight ago in Dormaa.
