A slick looking Chiefs will now be out to again put one over their arch arrival.

Chiefs take on Pirates this afternoon and like Chiefs did when the two teams met at the end of October when they defeated Pirates by 2-0 they will be looking for a similar score line this afternoon.

With the FNB Stadium fast filling up, the two teams have had the opportunity to get a feel of the pitch and soak up the atmosphere, as they have just completed their warm up routines.

A the completion of their warm up the Chiefs starting eleven went for a huddle with final words of motivation been rung out by assistant coach Frank Eullberg before making for the tunnel.

Coach Middendorp is well aware of the importance of victory over Pirates as it will go along way in the Amakhosi narrowing the gap on the current PSL log leaders.

Ernst Middendorp has made to changes to the starting line up from the team that defeated Free State Stars in 5-2 in midweek, goalkeeper Rowen Fernandez has been omitted in come’s Emile Baron.

Baron begins his first game for Chiefs in more than a month after last starting in the Amakhosi’s ill-fated 2-0 Coca Cola Cup ¼ Final defeat to Jomo Cosmos on the 6th November.

Jimmy Tau used as a second half substitute against Free State Stars in midweek takes the place of Fabian McCarthy, who has been surprisingly left out from the squad by Coach Ernst Middendorp.

Scorer of a brace on Wednesday night against his old team David Radebe retains his place and will once again partner Louis Agyemang in the search for goals.

Zambian national team striker Songwe Chalwe climbs back into the match day squad and finds his way onto the substitute’s bench.
