LIVE: Zamalek v Arab Contractors | Egyptian League March 6th 2016

Match K.O at 19:00 Cairo Local Time | 12:00 ET CANADA-USA

Alex McLeish is aware there is still a lot of work to be done if Zamalek are to defend their Egyptian Premier League title, as the stuttering side cannot afford to drop any points when they face Arab Contractors in Sunday’s game.

Ahly put pressure on defending champions Zamalek when they moved nine points clear at the top of the table with a 2-1 win over Maqassa on Saturday to enhance their chances of wrestling the title back from their perennial rivals.

Zamalek have no choice but to win to trim the gap back to six points and keep alive their hopes of winning a second straight title but there were little encouraging signs for new Scottish manager McLeish on his debut.

The White Knights were embarrassed in a 3-1 defeat by 10-man El-Entag El-Harby, committing many costly mistakes at the back and squandering several clear-cut opportunities to settle the game in their favour.

“I’m very shocked, I’m shocked to see the second-half performance from the players,” McLeish told ON TV after the game.

Contractors are having a poor season as they lie fourth from bottom with 22 points, four ahead of the relegation zone.
