Al Ahli v Al Shabab
Grafite, Al Ahli's Brazilian forward, is set to return from injury for the Dubai derby against Al Shabab at the Rashid Stadium. The former Wolfsburg forward has so far scored six times in three league games, including a brace to salvage a 2-2 draw against Al Wasl, before the two-week break of the Pro League. Ahli failed to capitalise on their impressive opening game when they beat champions Al Ain 6-3 away, with a draw to Wasl and a defeat, to Al Jazira, since.
Kick off time: 6.30pm
Al Dhafra v Al Jazira
Dzemal Hadziabdic, the Al Dhafra coach, faces a selection headache as he is unable to field any of his Al Jazira loan contingent against their parent club. The Bosnian is forced to leave out Abdulraheem Jumaa, Waleed Al Yammahi and Khalid Al Sinani, the goalkeeper, who are all on loan from the Abu Dhabi side. And to compound those absentees, Mohammed Qasim, the defender sits out a one-match ban following his sending off against Al Ain.
Kick off time: 6.40pm
Dibba Al Fujairah v Al Ain
Dibba Al Fujairah, who have yet to win this season, face the daunting task of trying to contain Al Ain, the champions, who have hit the goal trail in their last two league games, scoring 11 while conceding just one. Al Ain will be at full strength with the return of the Ghana forward Asamoah Gyan, Australia's Alex Brosque and their four Emirati internationals Dawoud Suliaman, Omar Abdulrahman, Mohammed Ahmed and Muhanad Al Enazi from national duty.
Kick off time: 9pm
Baniyas v Al Shaab
Nick Carle and Ismail Belmaalem are back from national duty, for Australia and Morocco respectively, as Baniyas take on Al Shaab. The Emirati internationals Amer Abdulrahman and Mohammed Fawzi too are expected to be named in the line-up after featuring for the UAE in their two recent friendlies. Both teams will look to build on their most recent league performances, with Baniyas beating Dubai 3-2 away and Shaab putting five past Dibba.
Kick off time: 9pm

Buy farm-fresh food
The UAE is stepping up its game when it comes to platforms for local farms to show off and sell their produce.
In Dubai, visit Emirati Farmers Souq at The Pointe every Saturday from 8am to 2pm, which has produce from Al Ammar Farm, Omar Al Katri Farm, Hikarivege Vegetables, Rashed Farms and Al Khaleej Honey Trading, among others.
In Sharjah, the Aljada residential community will launch a new outdoor farmers’ market every Friday starting this weekend. Manbat will be held from 3pm to 8pm, and will host 30 farmers, local home-grown entrepreneurs and food stalls from the teams behind Badia Farms; Emirates Hydroponics Farms; Modern Organic Farm; Revolution Real; Astraea Farms; and Al Khaleej Food.
In Abu Dhabi, order farm produce from Food Crowd, an online grocery platform that supplies fresh and organic ingredients directly from farms such as Emirates Bio Farm, TFC, Armela Farms and mother company Al Dahra.
