NAIROBI, August 21- Defending champions Gor Mahia take on archrivals AFC Leopards on Sunday at Nairobi’s Nyayo Stadium in the Mashemeji Derby and SuperSport will be rolling out a world class production befitting this match-up.

Gor will be looking for their first victory over Leopards since 2013 having breezed through the season unbeaten on 55 points, 21 points above their arch-enemies who remain stuck in fifth with no win in four.

For Leopards, the return of coach Zdravko Logarusic will be a big boost while the presence of former Gor players like Ivan Anguyo, Eric Masika, Joseph Njuguna and Solomon Nasio will add spice to the clash.

The Croat returned to the Ingwe dug out last weekend after sitting out the four matches where over unpaid salaries and allowances where they edged Ligi Ndogo 2-1 in a GOtv Shield clash.

Assistant Yusuf Chippo resigned after Ingwe were beaten by Ulinzi Stars 1-0 in their last SportPesa Premier League clash while Gor are coming on the back on a shocking 1-1 draw against basement side, Nakuru All Stars on Wednesday where the minds of the players looked programmed on the big one.
