Since it is not achievable, we are going for what is on the table and making history as the first club to lift the trophy with more than 85 points post-COVID-19,” Wanjala told Mozzart Sport.“We have had an intensive week of training, all the players are available and have travelled with the team. It is an important function in the club’s history that no one would want to miss,” he added.“We are not going to rotate the squad. Anyone who trained well this week will make it to the starting lineup. Again, here at Mara, we don’t have fringe players; almost everyone has played a role this season. I will go with the strongest possible team.”All set for AFC Leopards’ AGMAhead of the coronation, many Millers supporters are expected to escort the team to Police Sacco and are confident in the team’s prospects in the Premier League.Kevin Otieno, a Mara fan, said, “We are ready for the Premier League.
