FKFPL Five key Kenya Police players who could shoot down Ulinzi Stars in Disciplined Forces Derby
In the upcoming Disciplined Forces Derby, key players from Kenya Police aim to outshine Ulinzi Stars and secure a memorable victory.
Police are going into the match off the back of a hard-fought goalless draw against Gor Mahia. They will be determined to outshine their rivals, Ulinzi Stars, who suffered a narrow 1-0 defeat at the hands of Bidco United in their previous outing.
The Law Enforcers have found themselves in a bit of a rough patch, failing to secure victory in three of their recent matches and only managing to secure two wins out of the ten matches played this season.
This dip in form led to the club parting ways with their former coach, Francis Baraza, and appointing Zdravko Logarušić as new coach.

In their last five matches, they have recorded two draws, two losses, and one win, reflecting the inconsistency that has plagued their campaign thus far.
Despite their recent struggles, Police enters the derby with a full arsenal as no injuries have been reported within the squad.
However, Logarušić expressed concern about the team's current form, stating "Our team was in bad form for a few games. I am also expecting other teams, Tusker, Gor Mahia, and KCB to have a bump. They could not produce consistent results game after game.
