"Leopards are in serious trouble, we are going to embarrass them in their own backyard," warned Amakhosi communications manager Putco Mafani.

"We have always done well against the clubs from Limpopo, Leopards will be no exception. We need a win to go into the Coca-Cola Cup final in the right frame of mind.

"The win over Moroka Swallows during the Coca-Cola Cup semifinal is now water under the bridge, our players are now focused on getting yet another win on Saturday.

"It is a known fact that we have thousands of supporters in Limpopo and surrounding areas, we urge them to come in big numbers and support the match," added Mafani.

Chiefs will welcome back two influential players – dribbling wizard Emmanuel Ngobese and Siphiwe Mkhonza - who missed their semifinal match against Swallows.

Mkhonza was serving a one-match suspension, while Ngobese was not feeling well but has since given the go ahead by the club's medical personnel to feature in Saturday's game.

Speaking on behalf of Leopards, club brand manager Chief

Thidiela warned Amakhosi said they would go back to Gauteng empty-handed.

He said Lidoda Duvha desperately needed a win to restore their image after suffering a shock 2-1 defeat by Lamontville Golden Arrows during their last match two weeks ago.

"We are well prepared to sent Chiefs back to Gauteng empty-handed, our coach Shakes Mashaba has been taking the players through their paces.

"Everybody is geared-up for Saturday's match, we expect a full house since this will be the game of the weekend," said Thidiela.

Former Chiefs striker Sibusiso Dlamini, who has since rejoined

Leopards, will not be available for selection as he is still injured.

However, Leopards have Mulundo Sikhuvhilu who is expected to give Chiefs goalkeeper Rowen Fernandez - who had a great match against

Swallows - a torrid afternoon.

Fernandez saved three penalties in the semifinal match against Swallows.
