The Sangre Grande-based Stars will be in their third final, having won the Lucozade Sports Goal Shield and emerging runners-up in the T&T Football Federation FA Trophy final, both against Jabloteh. Looking ahead to the match, Stars coach, Shurland David, a former national defender said he too, was very confident his team could pick up a second title this season once they buck up on defence. Reflecting on his team's 3-1 semifinal win over bmobile Joe Publi Super League line-up, David said, "We just need a little more concentration in the way we defend because we face a tougher team in the final and if we make mistakes, we will be punished. For tonight's match David should have his full quota of players available with the exception of midfielder Marc Leslie and strikers Errol Mc Farlane Jr and Guyanese international, Randolph Jerome who are all nursing injuries.
