Six games will be honoured in the Premier League with competition at both ends on the table still the main attraction.

The title might be heading to Kumasi again but the relegation candidates for this season still remains unknown.

The match action begins on Tuesday at the Golden City Park where, Berekum Chelsea, with a game in hand on all of their fellow challengers for a top-four place take on Wa All Stars.

Chelsea, might have stumbled in the CAF Champions League at home over the weekend but will need to pick up the pieces when the team from Wa take to the field.

On Wednesday, five games will be played with the top-liner being the Kumasi derby between King Faisal and Asante Kotoko.

The Premier League title is certainly Kotoko's to lose now as the Porcupine Warriors attempt to widen the gap at the top of the table.

With a 12-point gap separating the leaders, Kotoko from the second-placed team Hearts of Oak, who do not play in midweek, much attention will turn to the Porcupine Warriors' count down to lifting the title with 12 matches to go.

Though it's a derby, Kotoko could come up tops and widen the gap at the top of the table to 15 points by the time the final whistle sounds.

Heart of Lions will try to prevent a third-straight loss in the league as they struggle to hold on to a top-four place.

The Kpando-side will take on a resurgent Bechem United, who who have moved to third on the log.

AshantiGold have fallen off the pace for the summit after suffering three consecutive defeats in the competition. The Miners take on Inter-Allies, who sit at the foot of the table at the Len Clay Stadium.

Liberty Professionals will return to their Carl Reindorf grounds in Dansoman for the first time this season and their opponents for their homecoming is Hasaacas.

At the Tema Stadium, the contest between Amidaus Professionals and New Edubiase will round up a busy match-day-19 action.
