The game was moved from Kings Park Stadium to the much bigger Absa Park in anticipation of huge crowds following Amakhosi's recent success in the Coca-Cola Cup and their 1-0 league victory against archrivals Orlando Pirates. The match kicks off at 16:00.

The Malawian international was struck in the hip by a Pirates player and will undergo tests later today. The seriousness of the injury is yet to be established.

Meanwhile, winger Rene Richards is still on the sidelines with a back problem. The injury is so serious that the youngster could be sidelined for a further six weeks.

Defender David Kannemeyer will start jogging today and could return to action against Royals.
