"You cant tell who is fresh and who is not after a break," states Baxter after taking his charges through the final training session on Friday afternoon.

"Conversations with the players indicate their desire to play. The national team players will all start the game," adds Baxter.

Kaizer Chiefs will face the reigning champions Mamelodi Sundowns at the FNB Stadium on Saturday, 22 November 2014, kick-off at 15h30.

Chiefs extended their unbeaten run to 10 league matches with a 2-1 away win over AmaZulu last time out.

"It feels nice to be on top of the log, but that's history now. It is a matter of dreaming for the future or getting stuck in the past and that won't help in the present. We will concentrate and apply the utmost quality," says Baxter.

The Soweto giants have claimed 13 points from a possible 15 in home matches this season. The Amakhosi are placed first on the Absa Premiership log with 28 points from 10 matches.

The Tshwane side has claimed 10 points from five away matches this season. The Brazilians are placed fifth on the Absa Premiership log with 16 points from 10 matches.

"Having a lead helps to adapt the positive plan. They will have a go at us tomorrow. I think they will press us high to try to disturb our rhythm," continues Baxter.

In head-to-head stats, Chiefs and Sundowns have met in 58 league matches since 1985. The Amakhosi have 24 wins compared to 18 for the Brazilians, while 16 matches have been drawn.

Chiefs have won 16 of their 29 home matches against Sundowns, suffering five defeats in the process.

Baxter quotes Bobby Fisher the Chess Champ, "Not playing my best move but playing the move that is most unpleasant for my opponents. "

Coach Baxter confirmed that Kgotso Moleko is out with thigh injury and "the rest of the lads are in full training. Khune and Mphela will not be available on Saturday. "We are monitoring their return at the moment," concludes Baxter.
