Kaizer Chiefs would want a befitting 53rd anniversary when they host Sekhukhune United in a Premier Soccer League match at FNB Stadium.
The match comes on January 7, the date Chiefs were formed in 1970.
Coach Arthur Zwane would be keen to steer Amakhosi to victory and cap an evening of festivities in Soweto.
It is also an opportunity for Chiefs to climb a rung up and go third on the standings and overtake Richards Bay who lost 2-0 to Mamelodi Sundowns on Friday.
Amakhosi will be coming up against Sekhulkhune who have been flirting with relegation so far this season.
Babina Koko are 13th on the table with four points more than bottom-placed Maritzburg United.

Zwane hinted at another striker Ashley du Preez returning from an injury which saw him miss the Arrows match.
But Khama Billiat might not play as Zwane said the Zimbabwean might need a bit of time to recover.

Match Preview
Chiefs have lost once in their last five league outings, including victories in the last two games and they would be keen to continue on that path.
They come up against a Sekhukhune United side that has been on a recovery road after avoiding defeat in their last three matches.
Babina Noko have been slowly vacating the relegation zone where they have spent the better part of this season so far.
Chiefs have a better record than Sekhukhune in the PSL after edging the Limpopo side 1-0 in May 2022 after they had also won 2-0 in the reverse fixture last season.
