Kaizer Chiefs fans have been begging Steve Komphela to pick 'Pule' Ekstein, and the coach has listened. But he has abandonded the twin strikers system, dropping Edward Manqele. Brilliant Khuzwayo comes in for Itumeleng Khune in goals.
Eric Tinkler, meanwhile has retained Siyabonga Mpontshane as his Derby keeper, having kept everyone guessing by fielding Felipe Ovono in midweek.
The big match kicks off at 15h00.
