Francis Baraza's charges occupy the fourth spot on the league standings, twelve points ahead of the Ulinzi Stars.
The gaffer praised the team for an outstanding effort in their previous match against Mathare United, adding that they will go for maximum points in the remaining games.
"The hope is there, the league is not decided by one match alone," he said. "Anything can still happen in the run in between now and the end of the season," he added.
"I will keep fighting to the very end. I am not looking at other teams but just looking at my team. I am focusing on my matches and not the other teams' fortunes.
"We will focus on trying to win all our remaining matches and then see where the points accumulated will take us at the end of the season."
The clash is expected to be a free-flowing encounter, but Baraza will perhaps continue to give himself a 'plan B' due to the Police deep depth in the squad.
