Kaizer Chiefs will be without Gaston Sirino in attack for the clash against the player's former side Mamelodi Sundowns, but Amakhosi do have a couple of options that should give them reason to believe that they will manage.
Sirino will be serving the first of his two-match suspension this weekend, after getting sent off in Amakhosi's last Betway Premiership match against SuperSport United.

Not having the Uruguayan attacker is a big blow for the Soweto giants, who will need to call on other players in the team to get the job done against a Sundowns side that is in fine form at the moment.
Mduduzi Shabalala has been coming on as substitute in the last two matches for the Soweto giants, but could get an opportunity to start in the top of a three man midfield. Shabalala is probably the best option for coach Nasreddine Nabi in that position, considering how many goals he has come up with from that position this season.
The 21-year-old has scored four goals and provided two assists in all competitions for Amakhosi, making him a good option for the technical team to start in the absence of Sirino.
Amakhosi also have the option of pushing January transfer window signing Thabo Cele further up the field, to allow him to play in a number 10 role.
