Competition sponsors Carling have begun the build-up to the Carling Cup clash between Carling Knockout winners Magesi and a team of PSL players and a coach voted for by supporters.

The highly anticipated encounter is set to be played at Orlando Stadium on Saturday, 21 December.
If current voting numbers are anything to go by, it looks like Mngqithi will be leading the team of All Stars.
The Sundowns coach is perched atop the list of coaches with over 34,000 votes (as of 3 December) with the voting process set to close on 10 December.
Orlando Pirates' Jose Riveiro, who was last season's coach of the All Stars outfit, is second with just over 30,000 votes, while Kaizer Chiefs' Nasreddine Nabi is third with just over 18,000.
