Bernard Parker, Mandla Masango and Erick Mathoho are back in the team in comparison with Tuesday’s 2-2 draw against Platinum Stars.

Kaizer Chief face Chippa United at Polokwane’s Peter Mokaba Stadium on Saturday evening (kick-off is at 18:00).

The big news, however, is that Amakhosi coach Stuart Baxter has included Itumeleng Khune in the squad. The goalkeeper was long out due to injury. He will sit on the bench for the Chilli Boys clash.

Chippa are in a somewhat surprising sixth position on the Absa Premiership log with 21 points from 14 matches, while the Amakhosi are on top of the log with 37 points from 15 games.
