THE English Premier League entertainment is set for a highly anticipated return where the remaining nine rounds of matches will all be squeezed into five weeks between June 17 and July 25 and while so much focus will be on Liverpool coasting to their first title in 30 years, for Zimbabwe footballs enthusiasts, the attention will be on Marvelous Nakamba who will be trying to save his career in probably the best league in the world.
For Zimbabweans, the 2019-20 season has been all about Liverpool’s amazing form, which has seen them open a 25-point gap over their nearest rivals with nine matches to go, as well as watching Nakamba raise the flag the country’s flag high in the most watched league in the world.
Nakamba has generally fared well for the Birmingham-based side, where he has been playing regularly, having made 21 appearances and the Villa matches are some of the most watched by the local fans.
But his career in England’s big time faces a defining five weeks, as the Premier League enters into a crash programme to complete the remaining matches and decide champions, Uefa Champions League and Europa League spots as well as the three teams that will go down to the second-tier league.
Villa also have a home match against Champions league-chasing Manchester United, Arsenal and Wolves also at home as well as an away match against relegation rivals West ham United.
