As the FKF Premier League returns on Saturday after the international break, one question on every football enthusiasts' mind is, will Posta Rangers maintain their unbeaten run?

The mailmen have been a revelation this season, currently sitting at the top of the standings with a formidable 16 points after six matches. They began the 2023-2024 campaign with a bang, winning five matches and drawing one, showing exceptional form early in the season.

John Kamau's charges face a struggling FC Talanta, who are desperately seeking a change of fortunes, at Ruaraka Grounds.

Talanta are winless in their last three matches, comprising two draws and one defeat. The odds seem to favour Rangers, not only due to their season form but also their dominant head-to-head record against Talanta.

In their four previous meetings since Talanta's promotion in 2021, Posta Rangers have emerged victorious in three matches and played out a draw once.

The encounter presents an opportunity for Posta Rangers to extend their lead at the top of the table.

In other fixtures, Sofapaka will welcome Kenya Police at the Machakos Stadium, and KCB will take on Ulinzi Stars at the Kasarani.
