Kaizer Chiefs and TS Galaxy have named their respective starting line-ups ahead of this evening’s Carling Knockout Cup Last 16 Round clash at FNB Stadium.
The Glamour Boys are licking their wounds after Friday’s penalty shootout exit from the CAF Confederation Cup in Durban at the hands of Red Arrows.
With a cheque of close to R7 million awaiting the eventual CKO champions, this competition offers the home side a new opportunity to go all the way after already bowing out of two cup competitions this campaign.
The Rockets on the other hand will be inspired by Chiefs’ winless run that has stretched to five matches across all competitions with pressure increasing for Fernando Da Cruz and his charges.
Esau Mtsweni will look to inspire his team to an upset win with Galaxy having beaten Chiefs in the 2009 Nedbank Cup final which they will want to use as motivation.
Here’s how both teams will line-up:
Chiefs Starting XI: Petersen, Frosler, Moloisane, Dortley, Mako, Maboe, Mthethwa, Vilakazi, Shabalala, Mmodi, Duba.

Galaxy Starting XI: Mathebula, Mhlongo, Mcwango, Mathebula, Mbunjana, Kokora, Zindoga, Rantoa, Mahlambi, Zandemela, Letsoalo.
