Massive fixtures will be on offer this weekend as the Football Kenya Federation Premier League (FKFPL) enters match week seven.
In one of the three matches scheduled for Saturday, October 26, league leaders KCB FC, who are unbeaten this season, will battle it out against Tusker FC at the SportPesa Arena from 3 pm.
A win for the Brewers, who are currently in fifth place will increase their tally to 12 points, two behind KCB who have accumulated 14 points so far after six matches played this season (W4 D2).
Speaking ahead of the crunch tie, Tusker FC head coach Charles Okere revealed that his squad is expected to be improved by the return of several stars from the treatment bay.

“Even before the week started, we knew that we are going to play three matches in one week. So, psychologically we had prepared the players in terms of training and recovery period so that by the time we come to the next fixture there is that freshness in the team.
We are working with the doctors closely and monitoring the individual players who have injury and are on rehab. So, come on Saturday, I believe two or three boys will be ready for the match against KCB,” he explained.
Meanwhile, Kariobangi Sharks and Mathare United will host Shabana FC and FC Talanta respectively at the Dandora Stadium.
The clash between Mathare United and FC Talanta is expected to kick off at 1 pm before Shabana look for their first victory against Kariobangi Sharks from 4 pm.

Shabana have only picked up two points so far this season and anything less than a victory will only increase pressure on the under fire Sammy ‘Pamzo’ Omollo.
However, a win may be difficult to come by on Saturday since the Kisii-based club might have to play without the support of the beloved supporters.
Shabana FC fans are planning to boycott the crucial match to force the league organizers to listen to their cries.

“In the light of the unfair hearing by the Football Kenya Federation (FKF) that has restricted our fans from attending five consecutive home matches, we are asking all fans to boycott the upcoming match against Kariobangi Sharks at Dandora Stadium.
This peaceful boycott is our way of standing together to protest against these unsatisfactory and our call for a fair hearing,” read part of the letter signed by their fans’ chairperson.
The ban was imposed in September after the Tore Bore faithful vandalized seats at the Ulinzi Sports Complex following their 2-2 draw against Ulinzi Stars.
