    Sundowns team news & squads

    Themba Zwane is back in training after his Achilles injury the same as Mothobi Mvala who has been nursing his knee.

    This game comes too soon for the duo and it is highly unlikely that Miguel Cardoso will field them.

    Khuliso Mudau and Aubrey Modiba might start from the bench owing to their fitness concerns.

    Sundowns have no player suspended ahead of the crucial game that might go a long way in determining who will be crowned at the end of the season.

    Sundowns possible XI:Williams, Mdunyelwa, Lunga, Khoza, Lebusa, Mokoena, Allende, Adams, Ribeiro, Rayners, Shalulile
