Moroka Swallows and Kaizer Chiefs have announced their starting line-up for this afternoon’s DStv Premiership clash at Dobsinville Stadium.
Highflying birds look to fly even higher when they face Amakhosi this afternoon. Swallows haven’t lost a league game since their loss against Richards Bay in mid-September, making it five league games without defeat.
Meanwhile, Amakhosi are coming from a defeat after losing to Orlando Pirates by 1-0 two weeks ago. The Ephefeni Glamour Boys have a lot on their plate lately, dealing with issues on and off the field.
Chiefs have lost three of their last five matches and they are closer to relegation than to the top. Cavin Johnson is expected to lead the side to his second win since taking over as interim coach.
These two sides faced each other 28 times, Swallows won seven and lost 13, on the side Chiefs won 13 and and lost seven, and eight games ended with a draw.
A win for the Birds would send them to fourth place until the Lamontville Golden Arrows versus Cape Town City match. Amakhosi could go to seventh place with a win this afternoon with the game kicking off at 15h30.
Ahead of the game, Chiefs confirmed that Keagan Dolly, Itumeleng Khune, Ashley Du Preez and Thatayaone Ditlhokwe are all out with injuries, while reports by Farpost stated that Khune is sidelined due to disciplinary issues.
Here is how they line up:
Swallows XI: Akpeyi, Phillips, Allan, Sibiya, Sam, Phalane, Jali, Makhubela, Mhango, Mtshali, Mabasa
