Dreams FC head coach C.K Akonnor says his side will play without pressure against joint-leaders Wa All Stars at home on Saturday in the Ghana Premier League top-liner.

The newly-promoted side are unbeaten and put up a sterling showcase last Sunday in a 2-2 draw with Inter Allies at the Tema Park.

Dreams go into the match without key midfielder Emmanuel Hayford who received a straight red card in their last match and banned for four-match ban including the match he got sent off.

But Akonnor, ex-Ghana captain, says his players will trot to the pitch to enjoy themselves.

"We are very fortunate, we’re very happy where we are but if it comes fine, if it doesn’t we continue to work. We are not under pressure whatsoever,” Akonnor said.

''When we were about to start to the season we didn’t know where or what was in hold for us or what the future will bring but as at now we’re third, we’ve not lost a match.

"We’re happy and content with what we’ve but I believe if we work very harder we’ll achieve a lot in a very short time.

''And so, we’re looking forward to any other game like come Saturday’s match. We’re looking forward to it, we know the players are aware of the opponents, how strong they are so we’ll have to prepare mentally, physically to face those challenges.”
