Due to George Maluleka’s injury, sustained in last Sunday’s Ajax Cape Town encounter, Kaizer Chiefs coach Stuart Baxter had to change the line-up for tonight’s Soweto derby clash against Moroka Swallows.

In-form Maluleka is replaced by Kingston Nkhatha, who returns to full fitness after struggling with stomach flu over the weekend.

Erick Mathoho, meanwhile, starts tonight, relegating Morgan Gould to the bench.

Tefu Mashamaite is again the captain in the absence of goalkeeper Itumeleng Khune, who is still recovering from injury.

The match will kick-off at 19:30.
