MELTAH KABIRIA VS KIAMAIKO CITY (3PM)
At BP grounds in Kawangware, home team Melta Kabiria aim to put behind their devastating 3-1 away defeat by MASA last weekend to gather the winning points against Kiamaiko City.

SUPER SUNDAY
TUK VS JERICHO ALL STARS (3PM)
In one of the three matches on the cards at City Stadium, league commanding boys Jericho All Stars seek to extend their stay at the apex of the table standings. The All Stars are looking for a win against West conference heavyweights TUK in a match expected to be a mouth-watering clash.
But to take all the three points, the table toppers face a herculean task against an improved TUK whom they narrowly beat 3-2 at Camp Toyoyo in the corresponding encounter.
All Stars who are two points clear of second placed Kayole Asubuhi have racked up 39 points while the university students are five points shy occupying the third spot.
MASA VS KABETE UNITED (1 PM)
At the same venue, sixth-placed MASA will be gunning for their fourth consecutive win when they face visiting Kabete United in a lunch time kick-off.
The Makongeni based team has accumulated 28 points so far while Kabete set the benchmark of the top 10 with 21 points.
The visiting West conference team hit MASA 2-1 when the two sides collided in the first leg and the hosts will be up in arms to secure revenge.
KAYOLE ASUBUHI VS DIGUNA FC (11AM)
In the opening match of the day, second placed Kayole Asubuhi aim to bridge the gap between them and league leaders when they square it out with Diguna FC.
The East conference team is sitting pretty with 37 points and is currently on fine form and a win will be a big boost for them.
However, Diguna who are ranked 8th with 28 points took the spoils in the opening round with a 2-1 home win and will hope to replicate such a performance.
