Coach Stuart Baxter has handed Willard Katsande the armband to lead the Amakhosi through the tunnel of the Independence Stadium, in Windhoek, Namibia.

Kaizer Chiefs is here leading with a 3 - 0 aggregate against the Black Africa in the CAF Champions League fixture.

Kickoff is at 20:00.

Coach Baxter elected to sideline Captain Itumeleng Khune, Pa Gaxa, Tefu Mashamaite, Bernard Parker, Knowledge Musona, Tsepo Masilela and Morgan Gould for this round of CAF games. Baxter continues to rotate and adapt his squad in a congested fixture period while some of the players are sidelined as they are recovering from an assortment of injuries.

Fullback Simphiwe Mtsweni makes his debut in the absence of Masilela. Reyaad Pieterse will man the goal posts in place of the regular goalkeeper and Captain Khune.

Ivan Bukenya gets his first start since joining Chiefs in July 2013 while the on-form Kington Nkhatha will be leading the Chiefs attack.

Pieterse, Mtsweni, Moleko, Mathoho, Bukenya, Maluleka, Katsande, Nkosi, Lebese, Masango, Nkhatha

Subs: Khuzwayo, Baloyi, Letsholonyane, Tshabalala, Rusike, Gordinho, Cele
