Old Firm rivals Peel and Rushen United meet for the first time this season in the Canada Life Premier League on Saturday.

Both teams are yet to drop a point this campaign and are locked together in the fledgling top-flight standings with two wins apiece.

The Spaniards host this weekend’s match at Croit Lowey in what is their first home match of the 2019-20 campaign.

The corresponding fixture at the start of last season ended in a 2-0 win for United, but on this occasion Peel should start as marginal favourites.

Lee Gale is back from his holidays to join Dan Simpson and Rhys Oates in the westerners’ attack and this might just give them the edge against a Rushen side that has only conceded once thus far this season.

The Old Firm duo aren’t the only ones to boast 100 per cent starts to the term.

Reigning champions St Mary’s, Laxey and St George’s are also yet to drop a point.

St Mary’s have the week off, but Geordies and Laxey will feel confident of continuing their fine starts when they travel to two of the division’s stragglers.

St George’s make the trip to a Marown side that has leaked 16 goals in three games and sit second bottom of the table.

The Crosby side have also recently lost the services of talented young goalkeeper Harry Horbury who has made the move to Douglas Royal.

Horbury will be in line to make his debut for his new club when they host Laxey at Ballafletcher.

Laxey have made an impressive start to the season winning three from three thus far and should have enough to edge past Royal despite the departure of their university brigade.

Corinthians’ first-team manager Danny McMahon left the role this week because of work commitments.

Combi manager Blane Slattery has stepped up to fill the void and he begins his reign with a trip to DHSOB.

Old Boys showed fighting spirit to draw 5-5 with Douglas Athletic last week, but will do well to claim anything from this match.

Elsewhere, Ramsey will be looking for not only their first points of the season, but also their first goal as they take on Douglas Ath at Ballacloan.
