Shabana FC, a team currently ranked 11th on the table, has been working to improve their chances of delivering better results in the remaining matches. To achieve this, they have signed three new players: Andrew Wafula from Posta Rangers, Moses Osule from Kangemi All Stars, and Cameroonian offensive midfielder Eric Emmanuel.

Shabana's coach, Vincent Nyaberi, has expressed confidence in his team's ability to deliver and destabilize their opponents' impressive run. Nyaberi believes the new acquisitions will help his team to deliver better results in the remaining matches.

Meanwhile, leaders City Stars have only lost once from 18 games and have shown the intent of returning to the top flight after five years. The Sanjin Alagic-coached side has signed three experienced players, including international midfielder Peter Opiyo, who previously played for Gor Mahia and AFC Leopards.

Ahead of Saturday's duel, Nyaberi said the visitors will be under pressure. "We are not afraid of playing them. Our aim is to get maximum points before our fans. We have beaten big teams here before," added Nyaberi.

Shabana has been depending on well-wishers to honour their fixtures, but chairman Jared Nivaton has confirmed that plans are at an advanced stage for them to get a sponsor, who has already provided them with uniforms and jerseys.
