There will be massive competition on who starts ahead of tomorrows fixture. However, Mumamba is likely to be caught up in two worlds with his side facing Lusaka Dynamos in the Absa cup final on Saturday.

This will be a great opportunity for players like David Molinga, Chitiya Mususu and others to prove that they deserve a ride to Lusaka and a potential place in the final squad that meets Lusaka Dynamos.
Club attacking midfielder, Bruce Musakanya will also be hoping to start in Kabwe after getting a taste of the action during ZESCO United’s triumph over Konkola Blades.
