Berekum Chelsea have a difficult task to protect at home advantage when they tackle the best away side Aduana Stars this season in a weighty regional derby on Saturday at the Golden City Park.

The Blues have tasted no defeat in fifteen home matches in the premier league.

They have to beat the Fire Boys to return to winning ways after three games with a possible climb on the league table to the 4th position.

Right back Nana Osei Bonsu is suspended for the weekend's derby following his red card against Great Olympics last Saturday at the Accra sports stadium.

Midfield dynamo Braimah Mohammed is expected back to face the league leaders after recovering from a sickness which ruled him out of last Saturday's fixture.

Stephen Sarfo is also available for Saturday's derby after shrugging of a knock he suffered in their 1-0 loss to Great Olympics.

Aduana Stars face a stern test in the wake of maintaining their momentum at the summit of the log.

A lose could see them slip back to the second place.

They walloped another regional rivals Bechem United 3-0 at the Nana Agyemang Badu park last Sunday to move top of the league table following a stumble by the leaders WAFA SC.

The title favourites are the best travellers this campaign with only one loss from eight matches.

Claiming 13 points from possible 24.

Godfred Saka remains sidelined as he recovers from an injury he sustained over a month ago.

Right back Nana Yaw Afriyie is available for selection on Sunday after missing last weekend's 3-0 derby win.
