Sekhukhune United and Kaizer Chiefs have named their respective starting line-ups for this afternoon’s Betway Premiership meeting at the New Peter Mokaba stadium.
While Amakhosi will be playing their sixth consecutive away game, Babina Noko will be looking to build on their positive result last time out.

Sekhukhune claimed an inspiring 3-1 win over Chippa United in the last match and will be hoping to get maximum points again which will see them leapfrog AmaZulu into fourth spot.
Led by Paulos Masehe and Andre Arendse, the hosts will miss the attacking prowess of veteran striker Bradley Grobler who is currently sidelined with injury.
Grobler was man of the moment in the first round against Chiefs at FNB Stadium, netting a brace as they thumped Amakhosi 3-1 in that tie.
The Glamour Boys are in desperate need of points in order to further keep grip of third spot having gone four matches on the trot without picking up a win.
Amakhosi head into the encounter after a hard-fought 1-1 draw against Mamelodi Sundowns on Wednesday but have been dealt a double blow with young star Mduduzi Shabalala suffering a broken arm requiring surgery which ultimately rules him out for the remainder of the season.
Another setback is the suspension of Siphesihle Ndlovu, who picked up his fourth yellow booking of the campaign against Masandawana.
Here’s a look at how both teams will line up:
Sekhukhune Starting XI: Nsabata, Mashiloane, Yamba, Cardoso, Letlapa, Khiba, Mkhize, Mokoane, Nku, Mandi, Ndlovu
Subs: Leaner, Coetzee, Diomande, Makgalaka, Makgalwa, Mojela, Monare, Phiri, Tlaka
Chiefs Starting XI: Petersen (c), Cross, McCarthy, Msimango, Monyane, Mthethwa, Ngcobo, Sirino, Lilepo, Mmodi, Da Silva
Subs: Bvuma, Frosler, Miguel, Cele, Chislett, Morris, Baartman, Vilakazi, Velebayi
