It only took till November last year for a separator of any kind between Kenya Police and Ulinzi Stars in the Premier League, a result likely to set the tone as the two sides lock horns once again Monday afternoon at Ulinzi Complex from 1500 EAT.Then, Police, under the stewardship of now former boss Zdravko Logarusic, needed two second half strikes from Francis Kahata and Abud Omar to earn a first win in five attempts against their ‘rivals’, and head into the game brimming with confidence under their new man on the helm.##NAJAVA_MECA_7927170##Kenya Police under Salim Babu have won five of their last six league matches – the other a barren draw against Posta Rangers – that puts them looking at form, a better unit than Ulinzi Stars with just two wins in six games this year.Not even on form Police winger David Okoth thinks otherwise as he commented on the game: “We are prepared well for the game. We understand how important the game is and will go for the three points. We want to pick from where we left last weekend and keep on marching up the log.”Okoth confident of Kenya Police’s chances against Ulinzi Stars in ‘forces derby’A win for Police would be so important as it takes them in the top three positions in the league for the first time this season, with Ulinzi – in 14th – seeking to draw teams near the bottom closer.Anthony Kimani’s side with their seven wins this season are on 25 points, only four above Muhoroni Youth who occupy the promotion-relegation playoff spot.Expect lots of banter off the field but a key game on the field for both ‘forces.’FKF PREMIER LEAGUE MATCHWEEK 23SaturdayTalanta – Kakamega Homeboyz 1-1 (0-0)/S.
