Zamalek will meet Petrojet on Thursday, garnered maximum points from their first three league games after defeating Ittihad, Ittihad El-Shorta and Dakhleya.
Zamalek players complain they have not received their salaries for months but made light of their dispute with the board to produce a string of superb displays characterized by free-flowing football.
The White Knights’ main striker Ahmed Gaafar has shrugged off a minor injury to make the team’s squad for the Petrojet game, which will take place at the military-owned Air Defence Stadium in Cairo.
Petrojet also made a fine start to their campaign, collecting four points from their first two matches.
