“Tusker have added some players during the mid-season who have helped them. The new left-back, Levin who is very talented, and one or two other changes as well.
“Ojok (Deogracious) is back playing regularly after a time on the sidelines and a couple of injured players who are back. However, in terms of their set up and structure, there is not a lot of difference.”

“They are a no-thrills team. They know what they want to do. They are very steadfast in terms of what they want to do but they do it very well. We have to be at our very best to break them down.
