On Saturday, Impala Saracens will face Kabras Sugar in a top-of-the-table Kenya Cup League clash at Kakamega Showground, with both teams looking to maintain their unbeaten runs.
Impala, who have not beaten Kabras since 2015, will be seeking to break their drought and claim their first win over their opponents in six seasons.
Impala coach Mitch Ocholla has made four changes to his squad, replacing Duncan Ekasi and Davis Makori with Paul Oimbo and Carl-Williams Odhiambo at forward.
Anthony Odhiambo returns from injury, replacing Mark Kwemoi, who moves to the bench, while Billy Omondi starts at centre ahead of Douglas Ochako, who moves to the bench.
“It’s a new season and new responsibility for me. Impala haven’t beaten Kabras in a long time but it’s the players who will decide. If they are hungry enough then they will take it,” said Ocholla.
Impala will be facing a strong Kabras Sugar team, who have won their first two matches and lead the league on goal difference.
Defending champions Kenya Commercial Bank (KCB) also hope to uphold their unbeaten run when they host Nakuru at The Den in Ruaraka, while Menengai Oilers seek to maintain winning ways against Homeboyz at Jamhuri Park Showground.
Other fixtures on Day Three of the Kenya Cup League include Quins v Western Bulls (RFUEA), Homeboyz v Menengai Oilers (Jamhuri Park), Blak Blad v Nondies (Kenyatta University).
