Imperial, for a second time this season, will attempt to inflict a first defeat of the season on log leaders, Real Sapphire.
The visiting side were bashed 3-0 earlier this season when they hosted Coach Dan’s side. They’ll be hoping to get a rare win, or at least a draw, to keep their unbeaten run alive.
For the hosts, the incentive for a win is simple: The chance to open up a nine-point gap at the top of the table (even if it’ll only be a temporary one). Having managed to keep five clean sheets (in nine league games) at home this season, a Real Sapphire win is hard to bet against.
But can Imperial pull off a surprise?
MAN TO WATCH

The goalkeeper knows a thing or two about shutting out opponents.
