CAIRO: Zamalek are poised to regain top spot in the Egyptian league when they host minnows Olympic on Sunday.

The Whites suffered a surprise 1-0 defeat to strugglers Gaish last week, but were much helped by leaders Petrojet s stumble against rock bottom Police Union.

A win for Zamalek would see them going top on 19 points, as arch rivals Ahly lie in mid-table with four postponed matches.

Zamalek will miss skipper Ayman Abdul-Aziz and defender Wissem El-Abdi through injury, whilst Amr Al-Safti is suspended. But striker Abdul-Halim Ali returns after injury.

On the opposing side, newcomers Olympic are hoping to get off the relegation zone with an unlikely victory in Cairo.
