After eight months of grueling and challenging league action, the FKF Premier League will this afternoon coke to a close with all the 18 teams set to play from 3PM.The relegated sides have since been confirmed. Mathare United’s 18 year stay in the top tier came to an end on Wednesday while Vihiga Bullets were relegated week’s ago, their spots have since been taken by Shabana FC and Murang’a Seal FC. Wazito have since secured the playoff spot.##NAJAVA_MECA_7339137##The league winners however remain undecided. Gor Mahia and Tusker are embroiled in a title race that’s set to come to an end by 5pm if not earlier. Gor lead the pack with 66 points while Tusker in second place are a point a drift.K’Ogalo will be at the Moi International Sports Centre Kasarani against Nairobi City Stars while Tusker FC will be in Mumias against Tusker the already relegated Bullets.Both teams suffered setbacks in midweek. The record league champions went down 3-2 to Kakamega Homeboyz after twice being in front while Tusker had to come from a goal gown to secure a point in a one-all draw against Posta Rangers. Despite the disappointment, they will be encouraged by the fact that they’ll not lose the title on goal-difference.The Green Army have to beat Simba Wa Nairobi to ensure that they lift the league title or get at least a point and hope that Tusker do not get maximum points in Mumias, that would however be a risky wish and coach Johnathan McKinstry will be hoping yo get all three points and not depend on Tusker’s failure to lift the title.Tusker on the other hand are dependent on a Gor Mahia slip up. A win for them in Mumias and a draw or defeat for Gor Mahia in Nairobi will hand them the league title. It’s technically not in their hands but they will be praying for another 2012 moment when they went into the final day behind Gor Mahia and ended up winning the league after the record league champions drew with Thika United and the Brewers defeated Simba wa Nairobi 2-0.It has been an intense and exciting race at the top in the last few weeks that could hand us another spectacular finish.Both coaches are confident heading into their respective final games.”Sunday game is a final for us because we will have to throw everything into the game. We have to win the league,” said McKinstry who came under so much pressure from fans after the defeat to Homeboyz.”I don’t want to talk about Gor’s game. What I know is that I will win the league on Sunday and where the real trophy will be is not an issue to me,” said a confident Tusker coach Robert Matano said after the draw against Posta Rangers on Wednesday.All round 34 matchesSofapaka FC vs. Nzoia Sugar FC (Ruaraka Grounds)Kariobangi Sharks vs. AFC Leopards (Nyayo National Stadium)Wazito FC vs. Mathare United (Muhoroni Stadium)Nairobi City Stars vs. Gor Mahia (Moi Kasarani)Posta Rangers vs. Bandari FC (Police Pavillion)KCB FC vs. Kenya Police (Utalii)Ulinzi Stars vs. FC Talanta (Ulinzi Sports Complex)Kakamega Homeboyz vs. Bidco United (Bukhungu Stadium)Vihiga Bullets vs. Tusker FC (Mumias Complex)
