Football Kenya Federation (FKF) Premier League side Tusker will take on Ulinzi Stars at the Kasarani Annex on Wednesday afternoon, January 25 with the aim of extending its lead.
The brewers sit at the top of the Premer League standings with 23 points after 10 matches, four ahead of fifth place Ulinzi.
Ulinzi has been in good form, winning three of their last matches and drawing two while Tusker on the other hand has won two and drawn a similar number.

Tusker has only registered a loss in one match after losing 2-1 to Bandari in Mombasa.
Since 2009 both teams have faced each other 28 times with each side winning nine while the remaining 10 ended up in draws.
Tusker has not lost any of its last five matches against Ulinzi, with three wins and two draws.
In their last meeting, the match ended in a barren draw.
According to the Brewers assistant coach George Maina, the match will be tough following the high number of fixtures.
"We expect a very tough game. It has never been easy against Ulinzi and looking at their results this season, they have been a very strong team.
"What makes it tougher is the fact that we are playing so many matches in the space of a few days but we have to cope,” assistant coach George Maina stated.
Goalkeeper Brian Bwire who made his first start of the season on January 22, when Tusker defeated Sofapaka 1-0 noted that the competition for places has been key to the team's top performance.
“The competition is so stiff and when you get a tour chance you have to do your best because everyone is waiting for an opportunity. You cannot afford to relax," Bwire noted.
