Accra Hearts of Oak will have to play above themselves to silence their visitors.

Accra Hearts of Oak will host Wa All Stars in the top of the table clash on Sunday on match day six of the 2016 Ghana Premier League at the Sports Stadium.

The Phobians are currently on top of the log sheet with 13 points after five games while the Wa based club are second place with 11 points.

A win for the former premier league champions will see them stretch their lead at the top depending on the other results while a win for Wa All Stars will send them to the top of the league table.

The two sides in the ongoing campaign are yet to lose a game, but the Accra giants have been very solid at home this season, winning all their games.

Wa All Stars in their away games have won one and drawn one and currently they are the best defending team conceding only one goal in five games.

Despite the rich form of Hearts of Oak, the Phobians will have to play above themselves to silence their visitors.

Last season at the Accra Sports Stadium, the Phobians piped Wa All Stars 1-0 while the reverse fixture in Wa, Hearts of Oak went down 2-0.

“We know when we win we will be stretching our lead at the top. We have to continue our winning streak, we will not be complacent because we know what Wa All Stars can do,” Isaac Mensah told Pulse.com.gh.

“The supporters should come in their numbers because at the end of 90 minutes we will definitely be the winner and continue to lead the log sheet,” he added.

But Wa All Stars forward, Richard Arthur who have scored two goals in the ongoing campaign is optimistic they will shock Hearts of Oak on Sunday.

“Hearts of Oak doing are well but they should be wary of us, we are coming to Accra to shock them. If we beat them we will go top of the table and that is our target.

“We are leaving no stone unturned, the three points is what we are looking for and on Sunday Hearts of Oak will go down,” Arthur told Pulse.com.gh.
