Kaizer Chiefs

Polokwane City

Ernst Middendorp finds himself under immense pressure to get the job done and steer Kaizer Chiefs to their first championship since 2015.
After sitting at the top of the log since August 2019, Amakhosi know they are close to winning it, and they need to win to be certain of becoming the South African kings.&nbsp;

But which five players Middendorp can trust in his effort to deliver the trophy to Naturena?&nbsp;

The players Middendorp should pin his hopes on

The presence of Katsande in that Amakhosi midfield has been vital throughout the season, and his experience coupled with his leadership skills has often made the team tick.&nbsp;
Katsande has been in this situation before where Chiefs need a win to lift the PSL trophy, and that alone would be vital in how the team plays on the day.&nbsp;

Willard Katsande

The Zimbabwe international has been heavily criticised this season due to his loss of form.&nbsp;
However, a few Amakhosi fans who know his qualities continued to defend him, including Ernst Middendorp himself.&nbsp;

Billiat scored the only goal in Amakhosi's 1-0 win over Chippa United midweek, and that alone could be enough inspiration for him to help the team win the title on the final day of the season.&nbsp;

Khama Billiat

The Serbian marksman has been Middendorp's go-to-guy in terms of goals this season with 13 league strikes to his name.&nbsp;
With Leonardo Castro unavailable due to injury, Nurkovic knows that the responsibility to score goals lies with him and the fact that there's a possibility of him winning the Golden Boot will push him to do even more.&nbsp;

Samir Nurkovic

Manyama hasn't been at his best since the return of football but he remains one of the most important players in the current squad.&nbsp;
If he doesn't create goalscoring chances for his teammates, he scores, and that's what Middendorp likes about Manyama.&nbsp;

One final push to the title is what's needed from Manyama even though he played with a heavily strapped thigh in the last two games.

Lebogang Manyama

Khune's return has been welcomed by many and after keeping a clean sheet against Chippa United, almost everyone is in agreement that Chiefs needed him at this stage of the season.&nbsp;
Daniel Akpeyi is injured while Bruce Bvuma is considered inexperienced, and therefore, Khune, with his experience, is the main man to help Chiefs repeat the feat achieved by the club in 2015.&nbsp;

Kaizer Chiefs are on the brink of lifting the coveted PSL trophy but they need their tried and tested players to be at their best to achieve that.
