All is set for a possible final day title duel as the league leader Tusker clash with champions Gor Mahia on the last day of the 2016 campaign on November 19.
This was revealed in a release pointing out minor alterations to the fixtures going into the final stretch of an engrossing campaign.
With only four points separating the two top sides, the duel could be the decider as to who will be crowned the champions in this season’s SportPesa Premier League.
Tusker, who have held the advantage for most of the season, have tough clashes with Sony Sugar and AFC Leopards before their encounter with Gor while the three-time back-to-back holders will first have to negotiate tricky fixtures against Mathare United and Muhoroni Youth if they are to have an opportunity to dislodge the brewers at the death.
“Tusker’s match away at Sony Sugar has been moved from Sunday to Saturday this week. The match will be played in Awendo and will be broadcast live on television.
