On Sunday, league leaders Hearts of Oak host Arsenals, while Kotoko welcome Dawu Youngsters to Kumasi.

At Obuasi, Goldfields take on Power FC, with Bofoakwa Tano trekking to Prestea Mine Stars.

Troubled Great Olympics will be the guest of RTU in Bolgatanga while B. A. United face King Faisal at the Sunyani Coronation Park.
