"We have no choice but to win all our remaining games,” said Willard Katsande. “We lost in the Nedbank Cup game against SuperSport United on Saturday and because it was a cup game plus going into penalties meant it could go either way.” The Glamour Boys concluded their pre-match drills on Monday morning before heading off to Cape Town where they will meet Cape Town City on Tuesday night.
“We went straight back to the drawing board after the game on Saturday,” revealed Katsande. Katsande also revealed the talk in the dressing room, “We speak in one voice, and that’s winning all the remaining six games of the league.”
Cape Town City is dubbed the surprise package of the league this season. This is after the Club changed hands from Mpumalanga Black Aces at the beginning of the season. “We know City very well after playing them twice this season,” comments Katsande. “They are a counter-attacking team and in that case it means we have to be disciplined to guard against their breaks.”
“We are left with six games,” concludes Katsande. “We have to believe in ourselves.”
With six matches to go in the 2016/17 ABSA Premiership, one point separate Chiefs and City in the leadership board. Chiefs occupy third place with 45 points with City leading with 46. Bidvest Wits and Mamelodi Sundowns are lurking in the mix respectively with 45 and 44 points.
Suspensions
Lorenzo Gordinho picked up the fourth yellow card against Supersport United in the last game and is suspended for this match.
Injuries
• Goalkeeper Itumeleng Khune picked up a hip injury on Saturday and the doctors are working around the clock to get him ready for the match
• Defender Sibusiso Khumalo was withdrawn from the traveling team due to a strained thigh muscle
