Usuthu return to action following their best performance so far this season, a 3-1 triumph over Nyasa Big Bullets in Malawi.

They have not yet registered a win in this year’s PSL but McCarthy is confident that he can carry their CAF Champions League win through to SA’s top-flight competition. He has kept pretty much the same starting team but has dropped Mthembu to the bench.
