Kisumu All Stars are seeking to reduce the gap between them and leaders FC Talanta to within three points when they travel to play relegation threatened Mt Kenya United at Camp Toyoyo in the mid-week National Super League (NSL) on Wednesday.

All Stars are currently third in the standings with 34 points, seven points behind Talanta and four points within second placed Kenya Police.

A win over Mt Kenya will increase the Lakeside team’s chances of qualifying for the Football Kenya Federation Premier League next season.

All Stars captain Bobby Kwaka said they are keen to build on their winning momentum after thrashing Modern Coast Rangers 3-0 last weekend in Kisumu.

“The boys are charged up and raring to go after the massive win last time out and we can’t wait to play. Away matches have proven tricky at times but we are ready to fight as we continue pushing towards our goal of earning promotion back to the top league,” Kwaka told The Standard Sports.
