Kaizer Chiefs coach Stuart Baxter has decided to start with George Maluleka for the Platinum Stars clash, while Bernard Parker will be on the bench.
Parker played well in the 2-0 win over Orlando Pirates, providing, for example, the assist for Siphiwe Tshabalala’s goal.
However, the striker had to limp off-the-field with an ankle injury, which, luckily, didn’t turn out to be too serious.
Baxter has made two other changes. George Lebese returns to the starting line-up to replace Mandla Masango, while Morgan Gould comes in for Erick Mathoho.
The Amakhosi play Dikwena in an Absa Premiership home away from home match at Polokwane’s Peter Mokaba Stadium this Tuesday evening (kick-off is at 19:30).
