Downs with an embarrassment of riches
Sundowns, as we all know, have a wealth of options at their disposal. Rivaldo Coetzee, just back from a long-term injury, will miss out after his red card against Sekhukhune. He started in a back three, but often inverted into midfield. Take your pick from the variety of players on the Downs bench to replace him, though, as Neo Maema could be drafted in and there’s also a more natural replacement in the shape of Mothobi Mvala. South American duo Marcelo Allende and Lucas Ribeiro Costa both impressed against Sekhukhune and will stay in the 11.

Chiefs face attacking dilemma
Keagan Dolly will be missing again, but other than that, Molefi Ntseki has a fully fit squad and could even recall Pule Mmodi. The former Golden Arrows man missed the Chippa match after the death of his mother but it remains to be seen whether he’s ready to return to the fold. Will Mdu Shabalala keep his place on the left-hand side of the attack? Will the coach persist with Ranga Chivaviro up top at number 9? Plenty of questions for Ntseki and the answers are far from clear at this point in time.
