Firat has kept the same line up that started during the 4-0 win over Malawi for the Zimbabwe clash.
Harambee Stars head coach Engin Firat has named an unchanged line up against Zimbabwe, their second match of the Malawi Four Nations Tournament.
Firat has trusted Kenya Police goalkeeper Patrick Matasi between the sticks for the clash in Lilongwe, extending his stay in goal after an excellent display against the hosts.
Daniel Ayembe has started despite featuring for 45 minutes in the first game, doubts to make it into the starting line-up at right-back while AFC Leopards’ Vincent Mahiga has kept his place at left-back in the absence of the injured Erick ‘Marcelo’ Ouma.

FOOTBALL Michael Olunga: Harambee Stars captain inching closer to becoming Kenya's all-time top scorer
Harambee Stars captain Michael Olunga’s two goals against Malawi on Saturday has put him on a good path to becoming Kenya’s all-time top scorer.
Johnstone Omurwa maintains his place in central defence and will be partnered by Joseph Okumu, another injury doubt for the match who has made the starting XI. The two have formed a good partnership in previous matches and Firat will be happy to have them.
Firat has also kept faith with the central midfield of Richard Odada and Anthony ‘Teddy’ Akumu but Kenneth Muguna misses out with Tusker FC’s Chrispine Erambo making his second start.
Odada and Akumu will play at the base of midfield with Erambo given the freedom to roam and help create chances for the forwards.
