Kaizer Chiefs coach Stuart Baxter made only one change for tonight’s AmaZulu game compared to the last Absa Premiership outing against Moroko Swallows, winning 3-0.
Only Willard Katsande didn’t play that match due to suspension. The Zimbabwean was replaced for that game by Ivan Bukenya. However, Katsande returns to the starting line-up for the Usuthu clash.
George Lebese and Bernard Parker scored in that 3-0 win, with one of the goals coming from an own goal by a Swallows player.
Baxter won’t be sitting on the bench tonight due to the red-card he received during the recent Nedbank Cup clash against Black Leopards. He will be replaced by assistant-coach Doctor Khumalo.
Amakhosi host AmaZulu at Polokwane’s Peter Mokaba Stadium this evening (kick-off at 19:00).
