Kaizer Chiefs have the opportunity to continue their solid start to the Premiership campaign when they meet Black Leopards in Saturday's clash at Moses Mabhida Stadium.
Chiefs recorded a 3-2 victory on the opening day of the season with Lebogang Manyama proving to be the hero as he recorded a brace.
Meanwhile, Leopards opened their account with a 1-0 defeat on home soil to Polokwane City meaning they could be feeling the pressure against the Glamour Boys.
In team news, Leonardo Castro may be available for selection after he missed the Highlands win due to a knock picked up at training.
In addition, it is unclear whether Khama Billiat is fit to feature after he missed the opening game over fitness issues.
As such, coach Ernst Middendorp has hinted that the Zimbabwe ace may not start, saying: "We have to make a decision about how far he is fit, how far he is towards a 100 percent level.
"And the difference now is probably that we have some options with [new signings] Lazarous Kambole, with Samir Nurkovic.
"There is competition. And that's good. I think it's good for everybody who is not at a 100 percent level."
For Lidoda Duvha, last season's leading scorer Mwape Musonda won't feature as he has not been registered for 2019/20 as he is seeking a move away from the team.
