Phakaaathi takes a look at three things to look out for in what promises to be an action-packed DStv Premiership weekend.

14 of the 16 DStv Premiership teams are in league action.The DStv Premiership returns this weekend after some time off for the Nedbank Cup and international break, and with Mamelodi Sundowns in Caf Champions League action, those below them have a chance to slightly narrow the yawning gap.Iqraam Rayners.

Rayners was excellent leading the Bafana attack against the Desert Foxes, and has been in fine domestic form too, laying on four assists in his side’s 6-1 hammering of Milford in the Nedbank Cup and scoring goals against SuperSport United and Cape Town Spurs since he season resumed in February. Amakhosi can have few excuses, therefore, if they fail to put up a good performance in the Mother City, even if midfielder duo Yusuf Maart and Edson Castillo are out through suspension.

Spurs are unbeaten in their last four matches, beating AmaZulu and TS Galaxy, while picking up respectable away draws at Orlando Pirates and Stellies, after a run of 14 defeats in their first 16 league games made a drop back down to the Motsepe Foundation Championship seem inevitable.
