The StarTimes Uganda Premier League match day ten gets underway on Tuesday with three clubs vying for top spot.

The top of the table clash is in Njeru where table leaders SC Villa visit early pace setters BUL who relinquished top spot over the weekend when they conceded a late equaliser against Entebbe UPPC.

On the other hand, Villa saw off stubborn Lugazi 2-1 and will open a four-point gap at the top with victory on Tuesday. They will have to do so minus influential midfielder Aslam Ssemakula who is suspended with Najib Yiga the most likely replacement.

The Jogoos however welcome back right back Andrew Okumu from suspension as he missed the win in Najjembe on Saturday. BUL, on 20 points, one adrift of Villa have everyone available and face former striker Alex Isabirye in the dugout and their former centre back Cyrus Kibande.

At the MTN Omondi stadium, Lugogo, third placed NEC host army side UPDF who are on a three-match losing streak. NEC will take over top spot if the match between BUL and Villa doesn’t produce a winner as they are just one point behind the Jogoos.

In other game on the day, Kitara visit Police at the Kira Police Arena in Kamwokya desperate to preserve their unbeaten streak and climb up the table. With eleven points in five matches, the Royals have played the least matches but sit 10^th on the log, only three points behind the Cops who have played four more games.
