There will be four changes from the 20-man squad that remained intact against Western Stima, Mathare United and AFC Leopards when Nairobi City Stars hosts Tusker at Utalii on Saturday 20 March 2021 starting 1pm.
Mid lynchpin Peter Pinchez Opiyo is out suspended due to accumulation of (five) yellow cards and will for once miss a game this season after 15 straight appearances.
He will be replaced Elvis Noor Ojiambo who last featured in the 2-1 win over Zoo a month back.
Newly acquired striker Nicholas Kipkirui makes the squad in place of Gambian hitman Ebrima Sanneh who is out due to a wrist injury aggravated during the last game against AFC Leopards.
Left footed John Kamau makes a return to the squad since mid-January to replace striker Ezekiel Odera who had been part and parcel of all 15 games into the season, save for the season opener against Nzoia Sugar where he was considered as backup.
The final change sees the return of reserve keeper Jacob Osano who missed the last four league games. He replaces teenager Elvis Ochoro Ochieng.
