In the days leading to their much-anticipated game against Orlando Pirates, Ronwen Williams has stood to make known Mamelodi Sundowns' intentions.
Sundowns will be the hosts at Loftus Versfeld on Saturday in what is scheduled to be a 15:30 kick-off as first meets second in a tie that also involves the champions against the challengers.

While their second place finishes in the last two campaigns came with huge gaps of 16 and 23 points behind the champions, Pirates feel they have enough in the tank to overtake the Tshwane giants.
Great for the league, yet Williams has a warning.
"Like I have mentioned in the past few weeks, the best of Mamelodi Sundowns is still to come because of all the changes that we have had," warns Williams.
"And now you can see it in that we scored seven goals in three days, it shows the good work that we are doing.
"It shows that we are getting our confidence back as a team and the identity.
"We have a lot of positives to take to the next game and towards the end of the season," he says ahead of Saturday with Pirates standing as the opponent that he has played against the most (36) and conceded the most goals against (40) in his career.
Sundowns have not won the last three between the two.
"Both teams have been playing well, and we know that these games are won by small margins.
"If you look into the last few games that we have played against them, there hasn't been a high score, but the football has been the highest quality.
"It is going to be a good game.
"It will unite the country because I know that this is the game that everyone has been looking for and it has come at a perfect time with both teams playing good-quality football.

"When it is time to grind results, both teams know how to.
"For us, the most important is three points because three points takes us nine points ahead of them.
"With them, it brings them three points closer," says Williams.
