Joint FKF Premier League leaders Tusker will aim to widen the gap at the top of the table when they face Ulinzi Stars on Saturday at Dandora Stadium.
The brewers are tied on 33 points with Kenya Police, but boast best goal difference, having netted 30 goals so far this season.
A win against Ulinzi could see them move three points clear, adding pressure on the law enforcers, who face a tricky Monday evening fixture away to Mara Sugar.
Ulinzi Stars, currently in 11th place with 22 points, will hope to upset the title contenders and bounce back from their inconsistent form.
Elsewhere, AFC Leopards, fifth on the log, host Murang'a SEAL in a late kick off game at Dandora. Ingwe will look to capitalise on Murang's recent struggles, having won only six matches all season.
