Lokomotiv Moscow will have to wait till the end of this week to see if they can sit at the top of the table in the Russian Premier League 2021/22 season. The second runners-up of last season will lock horns with the reigning champions Zenit on Sunday at RZD Arena for the three points.
Zenit is already at the top of the table this term as it stands with nine points from three attempts. With that three-game winning streak, the intention of the host to defend the title is well expressed. They will visit on the back of a 3-2 win at home against the likes of Krasnodar in the last league clash.
Meanwhile, the home team dropped points in the recent encounter leading to trail by two points to the reigning champions on the table. The Loko is still unbeaten in the league with seven points in their three appearances so far this term. They will return home on the back of that 1-1 draw on the road with Ufa.

莫斯科火车头将不得不等到本周末，看看他们是否能在2021/22赛季的俄罗斯超级联赛中占据榜首。上赛季的第二名将在周日的RZD Arena与卫冕冠军泽尼特争夺三分。
泽尼特本赛季已经在积分榜上登顶，三次尝试获得9分。凭借这三场连胜，东道主卫冕冠军的意图得到了很好的表达。他们将在上一场联赛中主场3-2战胜克拉斯诺达尔这样的球队后造访。
与此同时，主队在最近的交锋中失分，落后卫冕冠军两分。Loko在本赛季到目前为止的三次出场中仍保持着联盟不败战绩7分。他们将在客场1-1战平乌法后回家。
