Kaizer coach Nasreddine Nabi is leaving it to the last minute to decide on the readiness of two key players as his side prepare to confront Cape Town City on Wednesday.
The Soweto giants, current placed eighth, have their sights set on the third spot and standing in front of them is a Cape Town City side that has shown a lot of inconsistency this season.

Nabi, who will have been smiling from ear to ear in recent days regarding the form enjoyed by new acquisition Glody Lilepo, may have to do the task without the DR Congo star.
He has scored three goals from his six appearances thus far.
Lilepo is struggling with 'discomfort', according to the Tunisian-Belgian mentor.
"Lilepo has been having some discomfort, and we will look at him today (Monday)," Nabi told journalists at the club's media base on Monday.
From one man who may miss out to another who could make a long-awaited return - Sibongiseni Mthethwa has recovered from his injury and is available for selection for the match taking place at the Calabash.
The midfielder has been out of action since the start of February, in the process missing six matches.
Prior to his injury, 'Ox' had re-established the form that made the club splash the cash and bring him in from Stellenbosch FC.
"With Ox, we probably feel that he can play for a few minutes but not a full match," explained the head coach.

However, he will find competition for a starting spot stiffer with the arrival of Thabo Cele and the return of Edson Castillo from a long injury lay-off.
Kick-off is at 19:30.
