GOALKEEPER: Jody February
With Ronwen Williams still injured, February could continue between the sticks as Denis Onyango remains suspended.

Mamelodi Sundowns
RIGHT-BACK: Zuko Mdunyelwa
Thapelo Morena sustained an injury in Sundowns' win against TS Galaxy on Saturday, while Khuliso Mudau is also recovering from a long-term injury.
Mdunyelwa is poised to start in the right-back position ahead of Kegan Johannes, who could also available to fill this void.
LEFT-BACK: Aubrey Modiba
Modiba is one of seven Sundowns' players who are facing a suspension threat, which would see them miss the Kaizer Chiefs game on Saturday, but he should still start against Sekhukhune.

CENTRAL MIDFIELDER: Teboho Mokoena
When he came on for an injured Bathusi Aubaas early in the match against the Rockets, Mokoena made an immediate impact for the Brazilians.
He is certainly set to start against Seema's team.

CENTRAL MIDFIELDER: Marcelo Allende
Allende will also miss Saturday's clash against Chiefs if he receives a booking on Wednesday.
However, Cardoso could take a gamble and field the Chilean talent as the game against the Limpopo-based team is vital.

CENTRE-FORWARD Arthur Sales
Cardoso might opt to rest Peter Shalulile as Masandawana are set to face Chiefs next weekend. The Brazilian striker could be the ideal choice for the task against Babina Noko.
