Kota Kinabalu: Head coach Jelius Ating said his players are ready following their FA Cup exit last Friday to search for the win against PDRM in their Premier League match at the Likas Stadium tonight (Tuesday)."The players had put the disappointment behind them and they are now focused fully for Premier League survival."As I said earlier, we need to get out of the relegation zone as soon as possible so that we can look forward to play in the Premier League again next year.ADVERTISEMENT "The match tomorrow is massive for us and we have to ensure that we can get all three points to distance ourselves from the bottom two positions," he said on Monday.He said the players are in good shape and all the first team players are injury-free and available for selection with no suspensions, and he will put out the same starting line-up as before."I will continue to name the same 11 players to start the match tomorrow night. They are improving in every match since I took over from the team.ADVERTISEMENT "It's definitely not fair to them if I do an overhaul on the first team now as for the last two games they played really well, and I hope they will deliver us the winning points."Stay up-to-date by following Daily Express’s Telegram channel.
