Saturday!A special day in the ever exciting FKF Premier League season and one that could pave the way for better things to come.One aspect is that the day will see the return of Azam TV to televising Premier League games, but the other, there might be a new leader at the summit when the day comes to an end.📺 Watch our match against Kariobangi Sharks this Saturday from the Nyayo National Stadium, Live on Azam TV. pic.twitter.com/2OuQQDAK4o— 🏆Tusker FC (@tusker_fc) May 11, 2023 Kariobangi Sharks vs TuskerIn the day’s highlight game set to be beamed live on Azam TV (Azam Sports 1 HD channel), FKFPL defending champs Tusker FC will for another time this season, look to usurp leaders Gor Mahia at the top of the table with only a handful of fixtures remaining to the end of the season, when they take on Kariobangi Sharks at the Nyayo National Stadium from 1500 EAT.Coming off a pivotal 1-0 victory over visiting Kakamega Homeboyz at the Ruaraka Grounds last Sunday, Robert Matano and his charges will be wary of facing a side that boasts being the third highest scoring side in the league with 43 goals, but on the downside is the highest conceding with 41 goals.😃 Getting ready for the Sharkmen tomorrow.#KenyaMilele #Brewers4Life pic.twitter.com/Nnav4zlvXc— 🏆Tusker FC (@tusker_fc) May 12, 2023 Speaking ahead of the match, Matano was cognizant of the fact that the team has been trying to come off a wretched run of form, but hoped that the week-long rest would do his team right.”We have been playing many matches and fatigue has been setting in,” Matano said following the Homeboyz game – one that brought them to within two points of Gor Mahia. “You cannot plan when the matches are so close, but now we will have some good rest and recovery time.”Sato Nyayo Stadium will play host to good football.#WeAreSharks pic.twitter.com/ysWTKm4q9M— Kariobangi Sharks FC (@k_sharksfc) May 11, 2023 Sharks, on the other hand, have only won once in their last five and last beat the Brewers in July 2021.A win for William Muluya would see the team move to 10th in the standings.Vihiga Bullets vs Talanta FCAt the Bukhungu Stadium in Kakamega, Vihiga Bullets will look to leave no mathematical chance leading to them getting relegated this weekend as they welcome 15th placed Talanta in the 1500 EAT kickoff.Riding on a seven game losing streak, it has been a tough season for Milton Kidiga’s side that has conceded 12 goals in the last three matches and last weekend lost 7-2 to Bandari.😱 The Vihiga Bullets are in dire straits after losing six games in a row. Can they turn things around ama hawa washaenda?#FTS #FootballKE #kenyanfootball #FKFPL pic.twitter.com/VmMPWxMKKL— Football Today Show (@footballtodayke) May 4, 2023 Talanta on the other hand forced Kenya Police to a barren draw last Saturday – a result that impressed team head coach Ken Kenyatta, given that the team was dealing with fatigue and injuries.”I’ll never tire to say that this team is showing fight despite all the challenges that we are facing,” Kenyatta said.With the one week break before embarking on travels, Talanta will back on the fact that they registered a 2-1 victory over the Premier League bottom placed side in March this year. A win for the visitors will all but secure their safety this season.##NAJAVA_MECA_7252377##Wazito vs Posta RangersSlowly making a step from the automatic relegation places, Wazito will host 10th placed Posta Rangers in the 1500 EAT kickoff on Saturday afternoon, with the hope that they will close down the gap or surpass Mathare United in the FKFPL table.Coming off a 0-0 draw with table topping Gor Mahia last weekend, Wazito boast of only one loss in the last four games against a wounded Posta Rangers side that suffered a tight 1-0 loss to KCB on Sunday.Team taking a backward step offensively – Posta coach laments after KCB defeat”I need to be motivated as a coach and that has to start with my players making their chances,” a livid Posta head coach John Kamau said after his team’s second loss in three games.On head to head, the two sides have drawn five times of their only nine past meetings and played out to a 1-1 draw in the first leg this season.Bring on the weekend action!Additional reporting by Bonface Osano
