Week 13 is a big one in the Premier Sports Elite League.

On Wednesday night, Cardiff host Dundee to decide which team will be the first confirmed semi-finalist of the Premier Sports Challenge Cup. The Stars head to Wales with a two-goal first-leg advantage. Nottingham host Manchester in their re-arranged league fixture.

On Friday night, the top two face off in the first of two meetings. Sheffield are in Belfast for a double-header weekend, taking a six-point advantage with them across the Irish Sea. If the Giants are going to open up the title race, it needs to start this weekend!

Elsewhere on Saturday, there are big games everywhere. Cardiff are home to Nottingham as both teams look to get back on track, while Fife entertain Dundee in their first league derby of the season. Coventry play Guildford for the first time since the infamous end to their last meeting at the Skydome, while Glasgow round out the day in Manchester.

Sunday is just a three-game slate, starting at 4pm with Cardiff's first trip of the season to Glasgow. Dundee are back on home ice against Coventry, while Fife make the long trip down to Guildford.
