On Saturday they face record champions Gor Mahia away with a match against Leopards set to be played a week later at the Bukhungu Stadium in Kakamega.On Sunday, the surprise league leaders, who boast of a three-point buffer at the top ended their five-match winless run with a win over KCB and Tusker’s barren draw against Nairobi City Stars helped the Kakamega based side create a three-point buffer at the helm.Heading into what’s possibly their last tough two matches of the season, Mwalala admits there is pressure when taking on the two sides. He however believes that playing against Ingwe and K’Ogalo could spur his side as these are games that all his players are determined to do well. He believes that playing Talanta who downed them in the first leg will be a tougher assignment.Fixture Update: Our next match is against Gor Mahia FC, and has been slated for Saturday 21st in Nairobi.

These are the kind of matches we anticipate and prepare for. Playing FC Talanta will be tough considering that they ended our unbeaten record here at Bukhungu in the first leg. All in all, we have to win even with a bigger margin because the title race can also be decided on goal difference,” he told the Nation.He further admitted that their I pressure being at the top with defending champions Tusker just three points adrift.“We have to keep our focus. We have fought and led the table standings for the better part of the season. Yes, there is pressure when you are at the top but it is upon us to win our remaining matches and keep our destiny in our own hands,” he added.
