The Glamour Boys extended their winless streak to four matches across all competitions with a 1-0 defeat to Richards Bay at Umhlathuze Sport Complex at the beginning of March.
Their bad run of form has also seen them fall further behind in the title race as they currently sit sixth in the league on 30 points, 17 adrift of leaders Orlando Pirates.
In-form City are undefeated in their last six matches across all competitions. Their last outing saw them defeat Golden Arrows in the Nedbank Cup quarterfinals despite playing the majority of the encounter with 10 men.
Pitso Dladla’s side occupy fourth place in the league and a win over Chiefs could propel them into the top three.
Chiefs will be without Aden McCarthy and Sibongiseni Mthethwa through suspension while the visitors will also do duty with the absence of Athini Jodwana, who begins a two-match suspension after being red carded against Abafana Bes’thende.
This will only be the second meeting between the two sides after City’s promotion to elite football. In the first leg, Chiefs narrowly won 1-0 thanks to Flavio Da Silva’s solitary strike.
Here’s how both teams line-up:
Chiefs Starting XI: Bvuma, Solomons, Kwinika, Miguel, Cross, Maboe, Ndlovu, Du Preez, Shabalala, Lilepo, Duba
Subs: Mazhamba, Monyane, Mako, Mabaso, Ngcobo, Sirino, Silva, Vilakazi, Velebayi
Durban City Starting XI: Keet, Gcaba, Mkhize, Poggenpoel, Mashego, Jurgens, Jalai, Ncanana, Mokwena, Kamatuka, Magawana
Subs: Asare, Tshanini, Lubumba, Nodada, De Kock, Domingo, Maseko, Sifumba, Mahlangu
