Moses Antwi-Benefo: Kotoko communications manager resigns

Asante Kotoko communications manager, Moses Antwi-Benefo, popularly known as, PJ Mosey has resigned. Joy Sports can confirm the experienced sports broadcast journalist tendered his resignation on Friday evening. His letter addressed to the club’s Chief Executive Nana Yaw Amponsah cites “personal and professional reasons”. This follows the sacking of Maxwell Konadu as head coach. The former Black assistant coach was sacked barely 24 hours after Kotoko were beaten 1-0 by Great Olympics in Accra. The result highlighted the team’s poor form, with the coach paying the ultimate price. Kotoko have only recorded one win – against struggling Legon Cities – in five games across all competitions.

Asante Kotoko sack Head coach Maxwell Konadu

Kumasi Asante Kotoko today parted ways with head coach and former player Maxwell Konadu. Kotoko has managed to pick up just 1 win in this years Ghana premier league. Maxwell Konadu who has been with the club for almost 12 months and have left the club after a disappointing defeat to Great Olympics. The club confirmed the decision via a statement on the club’s Twitter handle and Facebook page. The statement also added that his assistant coach, Johnson Smith would take over as the first-team coach on an interim basis. Konadu, who won the league with Kotoko in 2012, was re-appointed in December 2019, for a new three year term. The club has only managed one win in four games this season, but it is the performances, largely uninspiring, that have forced management to act. The Porcupine Warriors have a busy next 8 days in which they visit Dreams on 20th December, host Al Hilal in the CAF Champions League on December 23, and conclude with a busy schedule with a trip to Medeama on December 27.

TECHNOLOGY TO SEE MILLIONS UNEMPLOYED, UNDEREMPLOYED AND UNEMPLOYABLE; THE “USELESS” COHORT-80% OF GHANA’s LABOUR FORCE

Dear Ghana, ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ Employment across the world comes in three faces; the upper, the middle and the lower class. Majority of the labour force in Ghana is captured under the “useless” class; for the want of a better word. This is why; ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ The future of this globe is presenting a world where the livelihood is mostly computerized or technological. ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ 1.3million people die every year due to road accidents with majority of the reasons being human error. The future presents Autonomous vehicles (self driving cars) which would reduce this 1.3 million deaths to nearly 0. ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ Do we know what this means; ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ 1. Taxi drivers are going to loose their jobs ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ 2. Trotro and bus drivers would go out of job ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ 3. Even food vendors and street hawkers are all going to loose their jobs due to the fast advancement of technology and online marketing. ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ 4. Less human contacts will be the order of the day and even shop owners would also run into grave losses. ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ 5. The controversial “Okada” and “Pragyia” drivers would also loose their jobs. ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ 6. Cleaning would be done by robots hence cleaners would loose thier source of livelihood. ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ 7. Security guards and even our security forces would to a great extent be rendered adamant as the crime rate would be reduced drastically as a result of low human contacts. ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ The list is endless and if this doesn’t alarm you, I don’t know what will... ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ Sadly this wouldn’t be the fault of the individual but technology would simply make people “useless” ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ Unless one can code and is very conversant with computer based systems, speak various languages etc you would only be rendered unemployed and unemployable! ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ Rather unfortunately, our training/education system is modeled in such a way where the output is directed at being able to be memorable and competitive rather than being self-thought-provoking with ideas. ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ 90% of the labour force would be rendered unemployed and unemployable and this wouldn’t be their fault but it would be because of technology. ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ The solution however, remains; TRAINING, EDUCATION and SENSITIZATION now!

Monumental Scam - How an underground rapper deceived the whole country

The new trend on the streets is geared towards an awards ceremony purported to be from the United Nation (UN), conferred on numerous personalities in Ghana.

An underground rapper who goes by the name His Excellency Doctor Ambassador Kwame Owusu Fordjour who says he's a diplomatic and a human activist has brought the country to a state of confusion for using the name of former UN secretary General, the late Kofi Annan and the United Nations to dish out awards to personalities in the country.

Dr Fordjour since the start of this year has been moving from one office to the other giving awards to personalities for their excellent contributions to humanity over the years. The Grande Ceremony happened at the Alisa Hotel in Accra on Saturday 29th August, 2020, where individuals were awarded for the outstanding services. Notable personalities who graced the occasion were rappers Sarkodie, D-Black, Media personality Nathaniel Attoh of Joy sports and so on.

Before the ceremony, other personalities including Deputy Health minister Hon. Okoe Boye, Minerals commission chairman Hon. S.K Boafo, Australian Ambassador to Ghana, GFA Execuive committee member Frederick Acheampong, Ashanti Region NPP chairman Wontumi, Municipal Chief Executives etc. had already received their awards in their offices. Others like, Captain smart received theirs after the ceremony.

The awards came under serious scrutiny when people started posting their plaques on social media, others decided to check the source of the awards and ultimately the research was fruitful when it got established that the United Nations had no idea of any awards going on in this part of the world.

Dr Fordjour has since gone into hiding and throwing jabs at people questioning his awards. The awardees has been subjected to several trolls as to how they couldn't decipher fake from original.

The mystery of the whole situation is how he was able to bring all these people together, Moreover how he moved from high profile offices to the other but none was able to fish him out as being fake.

Words on the streets says, he took monies from the awardees before conferring on them what's now being referred to as water bottle awards.

It's now an established fact the Dr Fordjour is an underground rapper who is struggling to the limelight and decided to use this method to get the attention of Ghanaians, and lo and behold he's got everyone talking about him.

In 2010 it was reported that this same Dr Fordjour wanted to scam some rural banks in the name of giving them awards. It is believed Dr Fordjour is a professional con artist who has been on this mission decades ago

Below Is the full list of awardees

DECEMBER POLLS; INNOVATION AND THE X-FACTOR MUST DECIDE

With barely some 90 days to the general elections, topical issues for debate and consideration by electorates would critically be looked at, but what would be the X-factor that would trigger voters to exercise thier franchise in favour of party LPG or GUM. ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ Corruption was a major role player that saw a massive rejection of former president HE John Dramani Mahamma during the 2016 election as there were too many unanswered scandals under his watch. President Nana Addo Dankwa Akuffo Addo heitherto, after being sworn into power on 7.1.2017 brought hope as many Ghanaians felt the prosecutions of corrupt officials under the former president wouldn’t go unpunished. ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ True to his word the office of the special prosecutor was set up specifically for this purpose. Can Ghanaians say they are satisfied at the delivery of the Special Prosecutor- Mr Martin Amidu , Let the people be the judge. ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ Education. As the ruling NPP propagated Free SHS since it’s 2008 through to 2016 campaign, the NDC vehemently kicked against it and even did counter adverts to render it unpopular. Fortunately or unfortunately this flagship program of the Npp has chocked successes and received international commendation from the double stream, through the introduction of green and gold and heitherto having the first batch of the “Akuffo Addo” graduates passing out. Has this been an innovation which has helped Ghana, Let Ghana decide in the December polls 2020. ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ Health. Frantically, former President Mahamma helped put up some medical facilities (like UGMC and others) which is highly commendable. However, as the ruling Government is putting up even more hospitals and facilities; they have also introduced zip line drone project, over 300 ambulances for each constituency and more. The x-factor! ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ Dear Ghana, never in our history has evey citizen benefited from free water and 50% on Electricity bills ever, since 1957 but the current government through the management of the novel Covid-19 pandemic that hit the world saw these incentives coming the way of the average Ghanaian. Our nurses and teachers have had thier allowances restored under President NADAA which was cancelled under madam Naana Jane (formerly education minister of the JDM era from 2012 to 2016 and now the current running mate of former president JDM, now Mr Mahamma; the flag bearer of the NDC” Hence in the area of Health; Let Ghana decide... ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ Energy. Topical of the issues that led to the rejection of Mr Mahama at the 2016 polls was a popular term “Dumsor”. For the longest history in Ghana, irregular power flow and cuts hits us unanswered from 2011 to 2016 (5 continuos years). Generators were in vogue during this period and many businesses crumble and saw massive negative returns in the formal and informal sectors of the economy. As much as this has almost vanished, the ruling government also soiled itself with a questionable PDS deal but handled with integrity as it was corrected. But again dear president, we want to see people being prosecuted and not just corrected. The X-factor element again has played a major role here. ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ Infrastructure. Arguably the only government that has contributed the most in infrastructure is the Kwame Nkrumah Government. Subsequent governments can only be described as trying. So based on what is being done, and/or maintained one can make an informed conclusions. ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ Railways development. After the Gold Coast regime and President Nkrumah regime; the rails have simply been neglected and left to its own fate over decades. Thankfully, an astute minister Hon Joe Ghartey has transformed the entire railway sector in 3.5 years with the ongoing lines and carriages he has facilitated into Ghana under the president NADAA regime. Leave politics out of this and this element alone makes me see a true X-factor leader in the current regime. ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ Barring a few hitches and glitches. “Clearing agent” tactics etc Propaganda has finally died in Ghanaian politics and decerning Ghanaians see the light in identifying issues and speaking to it. In as much as all governments have done their own bits in contribution to nation building, let’s see the x-factor of the front runners and choose accordingly. ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ Allow me paraphrase words of a leading NDC member “many of the projects which are now being commissioned have already been captured as completed in our green book some 5years ago” -Allotey Jacobs In the same vain, Let me paraphrase words of a leading NPP member “If President Akuffo Addo doesn’t jail corrupt Julius Debrah and his boss JDM, I will campaign against him!”- Mr Kusi Boafo. ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ We have 1 Ghana. We have 1 country. No room for politicking and propaganda anymore. The X-factor must win! ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ KOBINA AMO-AIDOO Ghana Youth Movement- GYM Kamoaidoo@hotmail.com

I'M THE ONLY BLACK, I'M THE BEST BLACK, I'M THE FIRST BLACK- The syndrome of the 3B’s

This year 2020 was ushered in with fear and disease pandemic which still puts a lot fear and continues to take too many innocent lives. COVID-19 in other words “Wuhan virus” as referred to by the president Trump found its way into Africa and further into Ghana. Being an election year this presented an opportunity and a disaster clothed in one; as the successful control would see the ruling government in good taste but the failure would rather bring colossal repercussions not only to the innocent lives but the fortunes of the government politically. One cannot run away from the economic displacements the novel Covid 19 has caused all over the world. Developing and developed countries have their economies suffering its worst down drive in ages because of the quarantine and isolation control measures. 2020 has also been marred with; 1.       The assassination of the Iranian general. 2.       A Turkish plane carrying innocent lives blasted from the skies- with excuse of it being mistaken as a military aircraft. 3.       Russian government passing a referendum which is likely to see president Putin into power till 2032. Fortunately or rather unfortunately, the referendum process sees the lowest polling turn out signifying the level of unpatriotic nature of citizens as people are simply not interested in the seeming “corrupted nature of government”. 4.       Series of attacks on women in South Africa is fast catching the attention of the foreign media as the killings of sisters, mothers and wives is becoming too much and uncontrolled. 5.       “Stop raping us” is the hash tag for protests against rampant rape cases spreading in Nigeria. 6.       Indian military meets Chinese military on the border in a “no-man’s-land” region where confrontations of bullets and seeming rivalry war is taking place. 7. Hong-Kong protesters arrested for kicking against a bill passed to bring it back under Chinese rule and governance after it being years independent and with stronger ties to UK. This has caused an international stir as it’s a first of its kind. 8. George Floyd murdered in broad day light by racist law enforcers in Minneapolis-America saw the highest number of protest action in the world with many taking to the streets on the mantra of “black lives matter”. 9. Chinese authorities forcefully trying to engage the black community in China on covid-19 related matters also saw a brut resistance leading to China massaging immigration laws to force out “blacks” from the city of Guangzhou and other places. 10. Freedom fighter singer shot dead in broad day light in Ethiopia’s capital – Addis Ababa because the talented artist sings to motivate people against government oppression. Thousands take to the streets to protest against this action. All this is 8 months!!! With the international statistics on racial abuse on the rise a critical look should be looked at why the many racist attacks going on? This is the system I call the 3B’s ·         Im the only black ·         Im the first black ·         Im the best black This is always the story for the black race. _Im the “only black” to have ever been voted for as an American president, I’m the “first black” to have made an invention; I’m the “best black” neurosurgeon. List goes on and on. *This is the genesis of mediocrity* which has sank so deep and still is sinking amongst the black communities and hence since we see ourselves as inferior and need an accomplishment in the “white” dominated environment to make it count, the white supremists also takes advantage to mentally enslave us! Sad truth. Steadily and eventually the lyrics of Tupac and Bob Marley are eventually being realized and the black man is waking up. My prayer is; we don’t get complacent and eventually die down the enthusiasm at kicking against this 2nd level status being accorded.   This year has presented too many episodes of negative events but what we should be doing as youth is to take advantage of the euphoria, take advantage of the crippling economies and bring more innovative, feasible ideas at bringing things back to normalcy and monetizing it to make the millions that matter. ·         Teaming youth can start developing softwares or finding more innovative ways to use social media rather than sharing funny memes and taking too long self-videos and pictures showing social class, dresses and ostentatious inexistent lifestyles (lessons learnt from Hushpuppi- fraud monies have an expiring date) ·         Being born in the “computer age” there is a lot of natural computer and internet skills up our shoulders. Ghanaian youth can capitalize on this and find data inputting for companies with too many files and documents which can be digitized to safe space and create an easy database of assessment whiles finding alternatives at profiting from work done.   ·         2020 is an election year and political parties are on fire with messages and programs. Dear youth don’t kill yourself for a politician; both sides of the coin all have stronger friendship ties than is always being perceived. Die in the crossfire of action between political parties and realize that your family loses the most and not the party you lost your life for.   ·         Education and sensitization of even the voter process and registration process can be adopted to better your capacity and person skills. Work too smart you end up being a fraudster or an intellectual thief at most with the end being not so successful, work too hard and you end up with peanuts of an income; but combine working smart and hard and life is going to smile its fortunes on you. 2020 hasn’t been so forthcoming, but let’s take advantage of this and turn around the woes into fortunes. Let’s see opportunity rather than calamity. The whole world makes way for he who knows where he is going. 2020: The higher the risk the higher the reward!!! Que Cera Sera, what will be will be!!!

The Youth needs an awakening mentality - GYM President at Homeland Africa Hub Launch

The president of Ghana Youth Movement(GYM) Mr Kobina Amo Aidoo popularly know as MrKobby has cautioned the youth of this country to awake from negative mentality. MrKobby was Speaking at the launch youth non governmental organization Homeland Africa Hub whose main focus is centered on the youth at the Royal Lamerta hotel in Kumasi.

He said "Mentality, Mentality, Mentality are the three keys things the youth must have critical look at in order to make it in life. We're sitting in a community where we're waiting for a certain government to absorb us into the employment sector and that is the mentality we have, it won't help us." "It's been ages we've had this mentality and it hasn't helped us in anyway, we can't wait to be absorbed before we get empowered. It simply won't work", he added. He challenged the youth to start doing better with their lives rather than depending on the structures of the economy. Mind awakening from fraudulent acts, scamming and the new Internet social vices.

He believes the vision of Homeland Africa Hub is a perfect opportunity for the youth to emulate and not having to blame anybody for future misfortune.

The launch of Homeland Africa Hub saw great speakers and notably was Mr Kofi Akpaloo the founder and flagbearer of the Liberal Party of Ghana(LPG) who shared light on the need for the youth to awake and fight for the betterment of themselves and mother Ghana.

The founder and leader of Homeland Africa Hub Mr George W. Baah in his delivery catapulted the fact that the idea behind Homeland Africa Hub is based on how the youth of Africa have neglected our core roots thereby leaving the rich land of ours to be in a mess thereby coming out with the mission "Awaken the youth of Africa to come together to work towards to development of Africa." Homeland Africa Hub is geared towards youth development and youth empowerment.

LOVE LETTER TO EC: THANKS FOR THE COMPETENCE DISPLAY IN THE COMPILATION OF THE NEW VOTERS REGISTER

Dear Jean, I must commend you gravely for the good job done in the compilation of the new voters register amidst all the naysayers, you have displayed utter competence and clinical delivery although there were a few foreseeable hitches. From day 1 to day 36 across all compilation centers saw a surgical precision in the covid 19 protocols observations and due deligence being adopted by the electoral officers. Many were the stories and reportage that trickled in, but thanks to social media and diverse angles the main import of the registeration and target was attained. Issues recorded mainly involved 1. Ghana card brouhaha 2. Fear of Covid 19 3. Apathy amidst others Hopefully going forward, the process can further be developed and fine-tuned to curtail all these elements. Fortunately or unfortunately the political goggles that sought to spread fear was equally leveled and the process was seen through. From the said target of 15 million. The total registered was in the region of 16 million. Now this is a bit delicate and difficult to phantom as the bases for the compilation was a bloated register, but the target to “unbloat” it has also exceeded. Typical case of test of character. THE FUTURE WOES: TO BE OR NOT TO BE IS IN YOUR HANDS. I trust you to make a very well informed decision. Kudos to all electoral staff Kudos to all security personnel Kudos to party officials who assisted the process Kudos to the you “Madam Jean” Thankfully the said target to have a clean and new voters register has been reached although the number of *challenged cases* is still alarming. An observed disaffection in quality of voter identity card was heavily topical in the initial stages but as forgiving of an average Ghanaian, the explanation was accepted. However, the quality of the card I think could have been increased and more security features could have been added as well. Kindly feel free to engage us at Ghana Youth Movement for concensus building and finding more diverse approaches. For God and for Ghana Congratulations KOBINA Amo-Aidoo Kamiaidoo@hotmail.com Ghana Youth Movement

Politics of equality and track record: the media is responsible, not politicians

2020 elections is fast developing into an election of track record between the 2 leading political parties, National Democratic Congress and the ruling New Patriotic Party. Since the history of Ghana began in 1957 successive governments have come and contributed their own quota to nation building. But as done in every election, one would ask why vote for party X or Party Y. The answer remains very simple; campaign message and track record. An informed voter bases his/her franchise in one of either of the above mentioned and thereby choosing a party and a presidential candidate. For the first time in the history of Ghana, 2020 elections presents the most ideal case of solid track record and campaign message as a sitting president- HE Nana Addo Dankwah Akuffo Addo is being contested by a former president- HE John Dramani Mahamma. President JDM was president from 2012-2016 and likewise president NADAA 2016-2020. Accordingly, these are the thematic areas to decide the elections 1. What did you do during your 4 years 2. How many people felt what you did 3. Giving all growth indices- justify what you did to Ghana when you were given the opportunity Furthermore, Ghanaians are simply tired of politicians throwing dust into their eyes. The media being the 4th estate realm of governance, should make this analysis devoid of a political spectacle and account to Ghanaians on the real true score and indices of both governments to help the average individual make an informed decision. Dear media houses YOU'VE BEEN CHARGED! KOBINA Amo-Aidoo. Kamoaidoo@hotmail.com Ghana youth movement- GYM

Free WASSCE: Prez Akuffo Addo Deserves Praise Not Stupidity - Franklin K

Dear Ghana, I'm scandalised to see students insult the leadership of Ghana for the WASSCE swerve in Integrated Science paper. Others went on to vandalize school properties and in some schools future slayqueens were leading the charge in the demolition exercise. I can feel the pain of this indomie generation who got supposedly swerved in their free WASSCE Integrated Science paper but who told them that WASSCE is a child's play especially Physics inclusive subject like Integrated Science?

You got free tuition, food, water, air, bording, textbooks, etc and you still want free "apor"? Ebey! We have over pampered these indomie students to the extent that they have developed the ownership mentality - everything must be dashed to them on a silver platter or else riot, vandalism, insults, rape, etc. will be visited on innocent school buildings and properties. I feel His Excellency President Akuffo Addo deserves praise and not the stupor we're witnessing in our SHSs. But how did we get this low? Did we fail somewhere along the Free SHS architecture? Was the double-track helpful? Did the students get enough contact hours? Was the over crowding in the dorms an issue? Let's investigate these issues and find solutions to them asap. I feel "cheated" for getting grade "B" in WASSSE Integrated Science as this generation has seen more incentives to do better. so let our “indomie” students take theirs like that and move on. Better luck in their next paper but don't forget to study well. Thanks.

The Magical Mason's - 2019-2020 Season

The 2019 -2020 premier League season saw many young talents displaying what they do best. The notable ones are Chelsea's wonder kid Mason Mount and Manchester United's Mason Greenwood.

Chelsea looked to have a horrible season after the club was banned from making transfer and their most prolific player Eden Hazard also joining Real Madrid, Frank Lampard decided to stick with youngsters to do the damage for the blues.

Lampard had originally managed Mount at Derby County in the championship where Mount was playing on loan from Chelsea, but missed out on premier League promotion after losing 1-2 to Aston Villa in the playoffs finals.

With European games yet to be played, Mount has managed 8 goals with 5 assists for Chelsea. A youngster with his debut Premier League campaign is very impressive and is as well one of the top performers for his club.

Mason Greenwood on the other hand has had an excellent season with United after the exit of Romero Lukaku. United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer had faith in his youngster and decided to give him the task to replace the Belgian striker who left United for Inter Milan before the season kick start.

Greenwood made his competitive debut on March 6th, 2019 as a substitute against Paris Saint Germain in the UEFA Champions League, he later made his Premier League debut from the bench in a 2–0 defeat to Arsenal to become one of the club's youngest league debutants.

The 18 year old has scored 18 goals with 2 assist in all competitions this season, with some European football still in the bag.

Mount and Greenwood has been instrumental for their clubs who ultimately secured a champions League spots next season.

WHO HAS BEEN BETTER FOR HIS CLUB??

Dogboe who had new trainer Barry Hunter issuing instructions from his corner looked sharp and appeared comfortable fighting in the featherweight division.

Der Klassiker - Borussia Dortmund vs Bayern Munich

Erling Haaland and Robert Lewandowski line up on opposing sides for the first time in the Bundesliga when second-placed Borussia Dortmund welcome leaders Bayern Munich to the Signal Iduna Park.

Bayern were given a scare in their meeting with Eintracht Frankfurt, before powering over the finish line to maintain their record as the Bundesliga's only unbeaten team this calendar year courtesy of a 5-2 win. RB Leipzig were the last side to take points off the record champions, and first this season to stop Bayern from scoring when they held the record champions to a goalless draw at the start of February, but you have to go all the way back to 7 December 2019 for their last defeat - 2-1 away to Borussia Mönchengladbach.

Bayern have hit nine goals without reply across the previous two Bundesliga meetings between these sides (4-0 and 5-0), but Dortmund ran out victors the last time they met at the Signal Iduna Park in the league, winning 3-2 on Matchday 11 last season. In fact, Dortmund have lost just one of the last four (W2, D1, L1) Klassiker matches on home soil.
Dortmund also clinched the Supercup at their famous home back in August, meaning coach Lucien Favre has a 100 per cent record at home against Bayern with two wins from two.

Haaland's return of 10 goals in as many games mean the Black-Yellows are the only Bundesliga team this term with three players on double figures for goals: Haaland (10), Reus (11) and Sancho (14).
Lewandowski is the league's top scorer this term with 27 goals, scored at a rate of one every 82 minutes. Haaland, who joined in January, has bagged his 10 at a rate of one every 69.
The Poland captain is also this Bundesliga fixture's record scorer (17 goals) across spells at both clubs (16 for Bayern, one for Dortmund) and Lewandowski has notched 12 goals in his last six Klassiker outings - scoring on every occasion. He's also scored at least twice in each of the last four league games against Dortmund, a run that dates back to his hat-trick in the 6-0 demolition of his former employers on March 31, 2018.

The 125th will undoubtedly be the most anticipated match of this crowdless Bundesliga era.

No fewer than four points separate the league’s top two teams with Bayern, who are aiming for an eighth successive championship, leading the way. Hans-Dieter Flick’s men are on a five-match winning streak and unbeaten in their last 13 league games.

Given the plethora of incredible talent on both sides, this is a game that should live up to the hype. The onus, though, is on Dortmund, who know defeat could all but hand Bayern this season’s league title.

Jadon Sancho is pushing for a start having now begun on the bench in Dortmund‘s previous three league outings. Serge Gnabry is another in-form winger that is expected to start at the Westfalenstadion after playing the final 26 minutes in Bayern’s comprehensive 5-2 win over Eintracht Frankfurt.

Probable line-ups

Dortmund: Bürki - Piszczek, Hummels, Akanji - Hakimi, Can, Brandt, Guerreiro - Sancho, Haaland, Hazard

Bayern: Neuer - Pavard, Boateng, Alaba, Davies - Kimmich, Goretzka - Gnabry, Müller, Coman - Lewandowski
