Joint TNM Super League current joint top scorer Lanjesi Nkhoma will play behind twin strikers Zanaco forward Chawanangwa Kaonga and Mighty Mukuru Wanderers’ Christopher Kumwembe.
Though a 3-5-2 formation, the system gives more room for adjustments to 4-4-2 or 4-5-1, both when attacking and defending.
The match will kick off at 6pm.
