Ailing Gunners take on BMC

There is no secret that in derbies history counts for nothing. Gunners go into this game place din an unusual fifth spot with 14 points from eight games with their cross-town rivals BMC lying in eighth spot with 12 points from seven games. Judging by their performances so far this game promises to be a classic. In the past years, Gunners started seasons on a low note but since the arrival of Daniel 'Chicco' Nare, their performances have been dazzling.

After resting this past weekend, Gunners' supporters will be hoping that their side will be firing from all cylinders. While BMC were held to a 1-1 draw with Mogoditshane Fighters, Gunners were engaged in two friendly games, beating Mochudi Buffaloes and Kanye Swallows 4-1 and 2-0 respectively. This gave coach Nare a chance to re-jig his squad and try some fringe players.
