With Yusuf Maart suspended, Kaizer Chiefs head coach must rejig his midfield against Stellies in the PSL this weekend.

Predicted Kaizer Chiefs XI vs Stellies
Petersen; Ngezana, Kwinika, Dove, Hlanti; Zwane, Sithebe; Shabalala, Dolly, Basomboli; Du Preez
Maart has started 22 of Amakhosi’s 23 league encounters this weekend. Clearly, he’s going to be a difficult man to replace. Siyethemba Sithebe is almost certain to start, as he did against Maritzburg last time out. The likeliest contender for a place alongside him in the engine room is 21-year-old Samkelo Zwane.

Zwane to keep faith with Du Preez
Ashley Du Preez was the only player in the Chiefs attack that completed the 90 minutes against Maritzburg without being substituted. He’s likely to be given another start because of his stamina and running power. Whether Arthur Zwane picks Christian Saile, or Caleb Bimenyimana, or both in attack remains to be seen.
Siyabonga Ngezana missed the Maritzburg clash through suspension but returns here. Dillan Solomons could drop out of the XI.
