Francis Baraza made changes introducing Clifton Miheso for Reegan Otieno, and Elvis Rupia for David Simiyu while Alvin Mange’ni came in for Derrick Otanga as the visitors pushed for the opening goal.

FKF PL We are not thinking about Gor- Matano
Tusker currently find themselves 4 points behind Gor Mahia with a game in hand over their close title rivals.
However, Tusker looked dangerous on the counter and Eric Otieno's goal-bound effort hit the crossbar with Police goalkeeper Ochieng well beaten.
The Brewers were living dangerously at the back around the hour mark, as Police were spirited to get the opener but that opened up the game, with the visitors missing a host of chances.
Robert Matano’s charges then had their tail up and opened the scoring in the 69th minute when Staphan Siwa made a solo run to the front from Michael Oduor’s delivery from the Brewers half to make it 1-0.
Police marksman Elvis Rupia had a chance to level matters with ten minutes remaining to the end of the match with a long-range looping shot that was eventually saved by Brian Bwire.
