Clubs will be looking to shore up points before the turn of the year as the Glo Premier League enters match-day-12 this weekend.

Yusif Abubakar makes his bow as Hearts of Oak head coach albeit in a temporal position for the trip to Len Clay, 48 hours after the Christmas Day sacking of former boss, Ayman El Yamani.

The Phobians have sounded out to the rest of the Glo Premier League's clubs that all was not well following the sacking of the Egyptian trainer after eleven rounds of matches.

But the festive season mood will be put to one side as Hearts, who are struggling for consistency this term clash with AshantiGold on Sunday.

Elsewhere on this festive weekend, another side under pressure to redeem their title ambitions, Asante Kotoko will attempt to put things right when an in-form Aduana Stars come visiting at the Baba Yara Stadium.

The Porcupine Warriors, who are two points above the bottom placed side have failed to match their performances and results with their investments.

Aduana, are second on the table and hold a seven-point advantage over Kotoko, who need points to climb up the ladder after a 3-3 draw with New Edubiase last Wednesday.

Leaders Kessben FC could enter the New Year top of the table if they manage a home win over Real Tamale United at the Anane Boateng Stadium.

At the Golden City Park, Berekum Arsenals can dent the hopes of bottom-placed King Faisal, climbing up the table before the New Year.

All Stars will look to return to winning ways after the defeat in mid-week when they host Chelsea at the Wa Park.

Liberty Professionals against Heart of Lions at the Carl Reindorf Park will be an interesting fixture as coach Sellas Tetteh chases his first win on his return to Liberty against his Black Satellites assistant Johnny Orlando who will be in the opposite dugout.

The fixture tray throws out a derby at the Sekondi Stadium where two tottering sides Eleven Wise and Hasaacas renew their city rivalry in their bid to stay safe come the end of the season.

On 12 points apiece despite Hasaacas in 13th place with superior goal difference, both sides have struggled to stay off the drop zone this season but Hasaacas are above the drop on 13th place with superior goal difference.

Great Olympics, also battling to climb out of the bottom of the table will take on New Edubiase United at the El-Wak Stadium in a game that the Wonder Boys will be seeking to win.
