The Soweto giants have failed to win their last two Premier Soccer League games and are seeking redemption to keep themselves in contention for the title. Currently fifth on the table, Amakhosi have seven points fewer than log leaders Mamelodi Suncdowns who have played three more games.

GOAL takes a look at how coaches Cedric Kaze and Khalil Ben Youssef might line up their men against their visitors from KwaZulu-Natal.

    He kept a clean sheet in the last match against Kabuscorp and was the hero in the penalty shootout, something that gives him confidence going into the Usuthu clash.

  • Inacio Miguel, Kaizer ChiefsBackpage

    CENTRE-BACK: Inacio Miguel

    One player almost assured to start, the experienced defender will have to show his leadership qualities against Usuthu.    

  • Zitha Kwinika, Kaizer ChiefsBackpage

    CENTRE-BACK: Zitha Kwinika

    With Chiefs having kept a clean sheet against Kabuscorp, the coaches might not want to change things at the back.   

  • Sibongiseni Mthethwa of Kaizer ChiefsBackpagepix

    CENTRAL MIDFILDER: Sibongiseni Mthethwa

    Mthethwa is enjoying regular football and is set to continue operating in the engine room.

  • Thabo Cele, Kaizer Chiefs, August 2025Backpage

    CENTRAL MIDFIELDER: Thabo Cele

    Lately starting from the bench, Cele might be back as Chiefs seek to return to how they started the season.  

  • Pule Mmodi, Kaizer ChiefsBackpage

    WINGER ATTACKER: Pule Mmodi

    The quick player's speed could create problems for AmaZulu's defence. 

  • Glody Lilepo, Kaizer ChiefsBackpage

    RIGHT ATTACKER: Glody Lilepo

    The DR Congo international has just one goal this season in seven league games and that gives him more responsibility to improve himself.   

  • Gaston Sirino of Kaizer ChiefsBackpagepix

    ATTACKING MIDFIELDER: Gaston Sirino

    His experience is always key for the Soweto giants and can use that to hurt AmaZulu.   

  • Khanyisa Mayo of Kaizer ChiefsBackpagepix

    CENTRE-FORWARD: Khanyisa Mayo

    After scoring on his Amakhosi debut against Marumo Gallants last week, it seems he is the kind of striker Chiefs have been looking for.
