It’s a derby day special on the African Football HQ podcast this week, as Malek Shafei and Ed Dove look ahead to a weekend full of massive clashes between old rivals.
There’s African interest in all of these three encounters, with Mohamed Salah and Alex Iwobi likely to be going head to head in the Merseyside Derby, while Achraf Hakimi will get a taste of his first Milan Derby, and Nigeria’s Leon Balogun could be in contention to feature in the Old Firm derby.
There will be no return, however, for his Super Eagles compatriot Joe Aribo, who remains injured, while Bongani Zungu remains in quarantine following his signing from Amiens, and will not feature.
