Elsewhere on Sunday, Mwatate United will be hoping to return to winning ways when they welcome MCF at Wundanyi Stadium.
Mwatate have won just one of their last five games, which should worry player-coach Solomon Mandela but coming up against an MCF side, who are experiencing similar fortunes, may give them some confidence.
MCF have won three of their last seven league matches, with the result being blamed on a depleted squad due to injuries, but one positive thing that came out of their draw with Darajani Gogo is the return of several star players, including Ian Mutanda.
