    GOALKEEPER: Ronwen Williams

    When fit, Williams is the main man between the sticks and Cardoso will surely not change him against Pirates.

    In the 10 PSL games he has played, the Bafana goalkeeper has conceded just three goals and kept seven clean sheets in the process.

    RIGHT-BACK: Zuko Mdunyelwa

    It is not yet clear whether Khuliso Mudau and Thapelo Morena are fit enough for the tough assignment.

    However, Mdunyelwa has been delivering for Masandawana and the 25-year-old might get his chance this weekend.

    LEFT-BACK: Divine Lunga

    The Zimbabwean international might be considered in the starting team. His pace might come in handy against the quick Pirates forwards.

    He was rested against SuperSport United with Asekho Tiwani getting the opportunity.
