PICK OF THE SPORT: Arsenal will be looking to make it six wins from six matches when they take on Manchester United at Old Trafford this Sunday.
➤ The North London club are the only team in the Premier League with a 100% record only five games into this season, a dream start for Mikel Arteta’s men.
But the Theatre of Dreams could end their climb to the top as a resurgent United team look to hand them their first defeat.
After defeating Liverpool 2-1, United have a spring in their step and a victory over Leicester City on Thursday may give them another boost in the hopes of rehabilitating the once-upon-a-time great club.
Arsenal, however, have been perfect all-season. It will come to an end at some point, but given their current form, that might not come soon.
The mammoth clash is set for Sunday at 5.30pm on DStv channel 203 but fans will be entertained throughout the weekend.
First up on Saturday is the Merseyside derby between Liverpool and Everton at 1.30pm, a fixture that always excites regardless of form.
Liverpool are fresh off a last-minute winner against Newcastle United on Wednesday night whereas Everton are still in search of their first win of the season.
All the Premier League action over the weekend can be watched live on DStv channel 203.
➤ With the Springboks’ pathetic loss to Australia last week one would have thought that Boks are out of the Rugby Championships, but no! The Rugby Championship is still not lost to South Africa. In spite of being at the bottom of the log, they have as much chance of winning it as anybody else. But then they have to beat Australia (once) and Argentina (twice).
With the confidence in the Bok team not at its highest, many disappointed South African fans are not super confident in spite of some positive changes enforced by injuries, but the team is not flawless. How the Boks deal with the loss of Lukhanyo Am and Handré Pollard remains to be seen. The match is at 11.30am on Saturday while New Zealand host Argentina earlier in the morning at 9.05am.

➤ Formula 1 returns for back-to-back weekends with the motorsport event heading to the Netherlands.
After Max Verstappen and Red Bull claimed maximum points in Belgium last Sunday, all signs point to much of the same in the home Grand Prix for the current champion.
And in the form Verstappen and Red Bull are in, it seems he will once again claim the honour of the best driver on the grid.
Red Bull are also inching closer to winning the constructors’ championship for the first time in nine years.
Lights out at the Zandvoort Circuit is set for 3pm on Sunday with the race live on DStv channel 215.
