Kaizer Chiefs coach Nasreddine Nabi may be forced into making changes to avoid Soweto Derby suspensions, when Amakhosi host Marumo Gallants at FNB Stadium this evening.
The Soweto giants have gone five matches without a victory in the Betway Premiership and their place in the top eight currently under threat, so they know the importance of getting maximum points against a Gallants side that's not quite safe from relegation yet. But there are some concerns with players on three yellow cards, ahead of the Soweto derby against Orlando Pirates next weekend.

Going into this game, Amakhosi will be without Gaston Sirino and Pule Mmodi, who are both suspended, while Wandile Duba, Mduduzi Shabalala, Tashreeq Morris and Inacio Miguel are one booking away from missing a match, so Nabi may have to rest one or two of them to ensure they are available for next weekend.
In goal, Bruce Bvuma is expected to start, with Njabulo likely to come in ahead of Dillan Solomons, who was taken off against Chippa United last weekend. The back four is likely to be completed by Given Msimango, Edmilson Dove and Bradley Cross.
