Kaizer Chiefs face their biggest test of the season this weekend when they host Mamelodi Sundowns in a highly anticipated Betway Premiership clash.
Amakhosi currently sit top of the table with six points from their opening two matches. They will, however, face a Sundowns side determined to get back to winning ways after a difficult run of form.
Chiefs will also take confidence from their recent record against Masandawana, having gone unbeaten in their last three meetings.
Given the quality of the opposition, Fernando Da Cruz could opt for a more cautious approach, with Sibongiseni Mthethwa, Sphesihle Ndlovu and Lebohang Maboe all potentially starting in midfield.

Flavio Silva could return to the attack, with Langelihle Phili and Wandile Duba also in contention for starting places.
How Kaizer Chiefs could line up against Sundowns
Petersen; Solomons, Kwinika, Miguel, Frosler; Mthethwa, Ndlovu, Maboe; Duba, Phili, Silva.
A victory would strengthen Chiefs’ position at the top of the table, while a defeat could see them surrender first place depending on other results.
Playing in front of their home supporters at FNB Stadium, Da Cruz will be hoping his side can maintain their strong start to the league campaign and claim another important three points.
Chiefs have suffered just one defeat this season, with that setback coming against Golden Arrows in the MTN8 last weekend.
When do Kaizer Chiefs play Sundowns?
Kaizer Chiefs host Mamelodi Sundowns at FNB Stadium on Saturday, 15 August, with kick-off scheduled for 15:00.
The highly anticipated encounter will be televised live on SABC 1 and SuperSport 2.
