Coach Nicholas Muyoti is expected to field a strong lineup. In the attack, the focal point remains Yves Koutiama, supported by Edward Omondi and Zakayo Ngava.
The midfield duo of David Ambulu and Nana Kusi will be crucial in dictating tempo.
However, there is uncertainty in goals, with the first-choice goalkeeper Job Ochieng’ still doubtful due to injury, meaning Daniel Ogembo could continue between the sticks, shielded by defenders Abud Omar and Jacques Ndecket.
KCB FC, currently 8th with 34 points, comes into this match aiming to close the gap on Police and strengthen their push up the table.
Their recent form shows resilience but a lack of cutting edge, with one win, three draws, and one loss in their last five matches.
They have scored four goals and conceded six in that period, highlighting some defensive vulnerabilities, especially against stronger opposition like Gor Mahia.
Coach Robert Matano will rely on a dynamic attacking unit comprising Kevin Etemesi, Boniface Omondi, Richard Omondi, and David Sakwa.
In midfield, Rowland Makati and Mathias Isogoli are expected to anchor play, while the experienced Humphrey Mieno remains doubtful after missing the last match.
Defensively, consistency is expected with Nashon Wekesa, Nashon Alembi, Siraj Mohammed, and Amatton Samunya likely to retain their places.
