Kaizer Chiefs and Siwelele FC have announced the starting XIs for their Carling Knockout Cup quarter-final at the Peter Mokaba Stadium on Sunday evening.
Amakhosi are looking to immediately bounce back from their 2-1 Soweto Derby loss to rivals Orlando Pirates, which was their first defeat in the Betway Premiership this campaign.

The home side will also be looking to pull a double over the Free State-based outfit, having beaten them in the league earlier this season and also progress to the last four stage of the league cup for the first time since 2024.
Chiefs have already missed out on silverware this term after exiting the MTN 8 in the first round and want to stay on course to win the cup after a barren 2025/2026 term.
The visiting side are also looking to build momentum in a season where results haven’t come their way and they find themselves sitting third from bottom in the league with six points in nine matches.
Here is how the sides are lining up:
Chiefs XI: Petersen, Solomons, Dortley, Moloisane, Mako, Maboe, Mthethwa, Vilakazi, Shabalala, Mmodi, Duba.
Subs: Bvuma, Kwinika, Nkgwea, Mabaso, Ngcobo, Da Silva, Ighodaro, Velebayi, Abrahams
Siwelele XI: February, Mfolozi, Khonyane, Sesane, Ndebele, Mokhuoane, Jeza, Leshedi, Marou, Mazibuko, Pule
Subs: Mthombeni, Ngcobo, Saile, Benjamin, Makhuvele, Lupalule, Thulo, Kobedi, Lepasa
