  • The Charity Shield is the traditional curtain raiser pitting last season's league champions against the cup holders
  • Gor, who will be looking to capitalise on home advantage, have been in fine form during their pre-season build-up matches beating Bidco United twice 2-1 and 2-0, while Homeboyz toured Uganda where they lost 2-0 to KCCCA at MTN Stadium last weekend
  • Should Homeboyz win the Charity Shield, it will be the third time in three meetings that they have emerged victorious over K’Ogalo this year
