Kaizer Chiefs return to Kwazulu-Natal today in a Betway Premiership match, seeking revenge against Golden Arrows at the Moses Mabhida Stadium in Durban. The Glamour Boys are eager to bounce back from their loss against the same opponents in January.

Coach Nasreddine Nabi has made three changes to the starting line-up. He brings captain Yusuf Maart, Gaston Sirino and Nkosingiphile Ngcobo back into the starting eleven. These players replace Mdu Shabalala, Sibongiseni Mthethwa and Pule Mmodi.

The team will employ a 1-3-5-2 formation, with the majority of the squad remaining unchanged from their previous encounter against Richards Bay.

At the back, the Chiefs defence, will be marshalled by the pair of Inacio Miguel and Given Msimango as they look to shut out the Arrows' attack.

Up front, Nabi has opted to keep the attacking duo of Glody Lilepo on the wing while Ashley du Preez will partner with Sirino at the apex.

Amakhosi head into this encounter on 29 points from 22 matches in the league, with the season resuming after the FIFA International break. In the last two league fixtures before the league went into recess, the Glamour Boys managed a draw against Cape Town City before losing to Richards Bay in the subsequent match.

Despite the disappointing loss to Richards Bay, Chiefs will be looking to redeem themselves and get back to winning ways. The match against Arrows kicks off at 15h30.
