LOYOLA Meralco and Kaya seek to step up their title push when they battle lower-ranked foes today in the United Football League at Rizal Memorial Stadium.

Loyola crushed Forza, 5-1, last Saturday with Phil Younghusband scoring twice and Kouichi Belgira, Jinggoy Valmayor and Alvaro Castiella also on the scoresheet.
