There has been considerable excitement from Express fans, the Red Army, after match-day 25 ended with their side ascending to the summit of the Uganda Premier League.
And as the Red Eagles prepare for Friday's home fixture against bottom of the table side Kitara, midfielder John Byamukama is preaching caution as the team looks to maintain their position at the top of the log.
"We've been preparing very well ahead of the Kitara game. We know how important this games is to us.
We have five games to go but as a team we're taking each game as a final. We know the fans are so excited because we're top of the table but it's not yet done.
We have to take it game by game," noted Byamukama ahead of the tie.
The game at the Betway Muteesa II Stadium is one of five Express need to win if they are to claim their first league title since 2012.
The Red Eagles have 55 points from 25 games, one ahead of URA and two ahead of Vipers meaning the winning the title is now in their hands.
They are currently the in-form team of the division having racked up six consecutive victories with the last being Tuesday's 4-0 rout of Busoga United.
The game saw Godfrey Lwesibawa become the second Express player to reach double figures in the league with his hat-trick taking him to 10 league goals thus far.
He joins on-fire striker Eric Kambale who scored his eighth goal in the past five games to take his tally to 13 this campaign.
They play a Kitara side that is bottom of the log but has shown signs of life after picking eight of their 13 points thus far in their last five games including a 3-1 win over Myda in midweek.
There are no suspensions or injury concerns for the Wasswa Bbosa coached side that is only missing striker George Senkaaba.
