“It will be a good match obviously but my concern is security,” Musa Kamara, an East End Lions fan said.

But the FA has promised to provide adequate security in and around the venue while encouraging fans to be peaceful.

Local football pundits have agreed that the match will be a tight one citing the Killers defence to be on high alert against the Elephant’s clinical strikers like Suffian Kalokoh and Abu Komeh.
