Kaizer Chiefs and Mamelodi Sundowns have announced their official starting line-ups for Saturday’s encounter.
The two giants of South African football meet in the quarterfinals of the Carling Knockout Cup at FNB Stadium.
Kick-off is at 18:00.
Now, Chiefs head into this encounter seeking revenge after losing 2-1 to Sundowns in a league match filled with controversies.
