FCB Nyasa Big Bullets have named the starting XI for Saturday afternoon’s FDH Bank Premiership encounter against Civil Service United at Mpira Stadium.
Bullets head into Matchweek 18 at the summit on 36 points, one ahead of Mighty Wanderers, as we target a third successive victory since the restart.
Wedson Nyirenda makes two changes to the side that defeated MAFCO 3–0 last Sunday, with Maclean Mwale and Peter Banda replacing Innocent Nyasulu and Misheck Billiat.
Mwale starts in goal in the absence of Nyasulu, whose father passed away earlier today. Everyone at the club extends their heartfelt condolences to him and his family.
Banda takes Billiat’s position in attack, with the youngster moving to the bench.
Captain Blessings Mpokera retains his place following a pre-match fitness concern over his knee. He joins Yamikani Mologeni, Emmanuel Kaunga and Prince Chiumia in an unchanged defence.
Yankho Singo, Chawanangwa Gumbo and Wongani Lungu continue in midfield, with Clever Kalambo and Banda supporting Ephraim Kondowe up front.
Pilirani Mapira provides goalkeeping cover, while Alihaji Mnjale and Kondwani Tebulo offer defensive options.
Frank Willard and Paul Master provide midfield alternatives, while Billiat, Maxwell Phodo, George Chaomba and Tinaye Tsimba, who scored twice against MAFCO, offer options in attack.
Bullets XI: Maclean Mwale; Yamikani Mologeni, Blessings Mpokera (C), Emmanuel Kaunga, Prince Chiumia; Yankho Singo, Chawanangwa Gumbo, Wongani Lungu; Clever Kalambo, Peter Banda; Ephraim Kondowe.
