Today Citizens descend on CCM Kirumba Stadium to face Simba in the semi-finals of the Azam Federation Cup (ASFC)
After a four-day camp in Shinyanga, Citizens will enter the CCM Kirumba Stadium with one goal, to win to reach the final
In the Yanga squad today will be missing veteran Saido Ntibazonkiza who was suspended alongside Dickson Ambundo due to misconduct
However Yanga has other players who can play in his position without any problem
Perhaps Chico Ushindi today could start. After suffering from recurring injuries, Ushindi appears to be in good health playing for about 60 minutes in the previous game against Biashara United
Farid Mussa is another player who could start at Saido's place. Speaking of players who are 'onfire' in the Yanga squad, Farid is one of them
Of course there will be no major squad change, it is a tradition of all coaches in the world not to change the winning team
It is Djigui Diarra with his defensive line consisting of Djuma Shabani, Kibwana Shomari, Dickson Job and Bakari Nondo Mwamnyeto while Yannick Bangala can be moved to midfield along Khalid Aucho
Jesus Moloko, Ushindi/Farid/ Ngushi could start in the wing positions with Feisal Salum and Fiston Mayele leading the offensive line
The only surprise that can be expected is for Salum Abubakar 'Sure Boy' to be included in the first team changes that could bring Bangala back to the defensive line
Sureboy has been at a very good form adding to Yanga's quality in possession. This technician even in challenging pitch he slips just like he is at Anfield
Citizens have a unique history at the CCM Kirumba Stadium as in the six games they played against Simba, they have won four, drawn one and lost one
