Berekum Chelsea Berekum Chelsea

Berekum Chelsea will be counting on last week's 4-0 win over Bechem United in the MTN FA Cup when they host Ebusua Dwarfs on Sunday.

A win for the Blues will see them climb up to the 4th position again on the league table.

They sit at the 7th position at the moment.

Abdul Ganiyu Haruna looks very doubtful for Sunday's fixture after missing training in the last two days.

First choice goalkeeper John Moosie is expected back into the sticks for the weekend's game.

Nicholas Opoku won't be available for selection after making the Black Stars squad for the trip to the USA.

Ebusua Dwarfs still without an away win in 2017, a run of nine matches will be eager to build on an impressive recent record in the league to pick at least a point in Berekum this weekend.

They have lost only twice of their last nine Premier League fixtures and are 4th on the league table.

If the Mysterious Club are to be transferring their home form to away, their top four ambitions will be achievable.

They are unbeaten at home.

Raphael Essel Mensah served a suspension the last time out against Bechem United, he is available for Sunday's game.

Centre back Ebenezer Ackon has traveled to the United States of America to continue his education. He is out of the match.

Michael Abu is coming back to keep the posts this weekend. He missed the last league fixture.
