Both teams are well shy of present leader DIRECTV W Connection who amassed a maximum 18 points from just six games so far.
Connection will face sixth placed Caledonia AIA from 8 pm tomorrow at the Hasely Crawford Stadium while seventh placed Central FC tackle bottom placed St Ann’s Rangers from 5 pm at the Ato Boldon Stadium in Couva.
Caledonia and Central have eight points apiece and a win for either can see the respective team climb to fourth spot.
Stars coach Angus Eve is navigating his way through a crisis situation as his team has lost nearly half of its players to a combination of injuries, internal disciplinary sanctions and migration.
In contrast, Police has won three of its last four League outings and captain Todd Ryan made it four from five this evening with the winning item. It was his third goal this season, which is a joint team-high tally.
