Context | 
With a 4-1
  win over Ihsan, Haya claimed the top spot in the league. If they like the
  view from the top they are going to have to take care of the league’s worst
  team. | 
Salvaged a
  point against Taqwa, saw Ikhlas keep their faint playoff hopes alive. A lost
  tonight might just all about do it for this group | 
| 
Last Meeting  | 
Missing key
  players in their first meeting did well to fight back and tie the game 2-2 | 
Could not
  take advantage of Haya missing a few key players and let a 2-0 lead slip
  away, settling for a tie.  |

Main Question | 
Losing Sufyan Shaikh (see N and R) is
  devastating… Is Umair Awan the
  right replacement for this team | 
With the
  addition of Tahir Marouf there is
  no question that Ikhlas looked better, but yet they are still looking for
  their first win. Is Marouf’s second game with his new teammates enough time
  to help get Ikhlas their first victory?  |

Ihsan has
  been inconsistent all season. They have had some big wins (7-3 vs Sabr) and
  some lopsided defeats (7-2 vs Yaqeen & 4-1 vs Haya) | 
Yaqeen still
  remains in the hunt to finish first or second overall.   | 
| 
Last Meeting  | 
One of those
  games where you have to forget and move on | 
A 7-2

Farooq Sani and Saleem
  Malik scored 6 of the 7 goals last time… Can Ihsan make the necessary
  adjustments here?  | 
Can Yaqeen
  come into this game and not take their opponents lightly?  |

Yaqeen Win |

Shukr’s
  inability to score goals reared its ugly head again last week with a 2-1
  defeat versus Yaqeen | 
Although
  they got a point in a wild back and forth affair with Emaan (4-4), it kind of
  feels like a let down after managing to beat Sabr 2-1 the prior week.    |

Scoring two
  goals on the power play helped powered them to a 4-2 win |

Main Question | 
The most
  goals Shukr has scored in a game was 4 and this was against Ridha. Is this
  the game Shukr ails their anemic offense?  | 
A win here
  will vault you up into a playoff spot… how bad you want it?   |

October was
  a horrible month for Sabr as they went winless  | 
With a game
  in hand on Haya and with Yaqeen right on their heels, Taqwa looks to ascend
  back to the top of the standings.  | 
| 
Main Question  | 
Can Sabr
  come out of their slump? | 
After
  letting a point slip away against Ikhlas, can Taqwa recover and get back to
  their winning way? |
