Brilliant Khuzwayo And Reyaad Pieterse Are Battling For The Number One Spot

Kaizer Chiefs' head coach, Stuart Baxter, says that he's yet to decide on which goalkeeper will start between the sticks in this weekend's MTN8 final.

The Amakhosi leave for Durban on Friday as they prepare to take on bitter rivals, Orlando Pirates, in the first final of the PSL season, though they will have to do so without their captain, Itumeleng Khune, who is recovering from a stress fracture.

Brilliant Khuzwayo was called upon to deputise for Khune in the 2-1 win over University of Pretoria last weekend, however he did give away a penalty in the second half.

Meanwhile, Reyaad Pieterse played a number of games for Baxter last season when Khune was previously sidelined by injury.

Speaking at Naturena, the head coach said that it would come down to who looks best in training this week. He said, "Both goalkeepers have got to prepare to play. We'll make the eventual decision on who will play, but they've got to make sure that they're ready to play.

"I thought Brilliant did a decent job, he made one mistake but we had a lot more players out on the field against Tuks that made more than that. We haven't made a decision yet.

"Brilliant did ok, Reyaad did very well for us last season and we've made sure that they're both fired up and ready to play. We'll continue their work through the week and make a decision closer to the time."
