At stake is a precious three points that would see the Soweto giants possibly jump as high as the fifth spot on the Betway Premiership table.
Nasreddine Nabi - who has been haunted by the dilemma of a lack of a natural left-back - will be pleased to have experienced defender Edmilson Dove back in contention for the encounter.
The Mozambican international has not played a single minute of competitive action this season, after suffering an injury during Chiefs' pre-season training camp in Turkey.
He was subsequently not registered in the squad for the first part of the season.
However, the club has now confirmed that the dreadlocked player is now registered and ready to help solve what has been a problem position for the side.
"It hasn't been an easy journey, but by the grace of God, I am running again. I want to thank the doctors and express my gratitude to the Club for all the resources that were put at my disposal to help me recover as soon as possible.
"I also deeply appreciate the support from my teammates and the technical staff. It has really helped me a lot," said Dove, as per the club's website.
In Sundowns, Chiefs meet a side that has lost only two from their 19 matches so far this season and already 15 points clear at the top.

"There is no need for any extra motivation. We are all excited. You can see it in the eyes of our players and the work they are putting in this week."
The match is scheduled to kick off at 15:30.
