    THE BIGGER PICTURE

    Masandawana are currently enjoying a 12-point gap at the top of the table.

    WHO IS MISSING?

    Both Chiefs and Pirates will miss key players in this game.

    The hosts' Wandile Duba received his fourth caution against Marumo Gallants last weekend, which keeps him out.

    Duba has five goals and an assist in the 19 PSL games he has played this season.

    Pirates will miss their captain, Nkosinathi Sibisi, who was sent off against Sekhukhune United after bookable offences.

    He is set to be out of action for two consecutive domestic games.
