As Kaizer Chiefs prepare to take on AmaZulu in the MTN8 second leg semi-final, Soccer Laduma looks at three concerns for the Soweto giants.
Chiefs are under early season pressure and know that reaching the final would ease some of it, but there are some concerns for head coach Arthur Zwane going into the encounter at Moses Mabhida Stadium on Sunday.

Zwane's three concerns
1. Defence
Amakhosi are struggling to keep clean sheets at the moment and have developed a habit of conceding first in the matches they play. The Soweto giants have not kept a clean sheet in their last six league matches and they have conceded in both their MTN8 matches so far this season.
2. Gabadinho Mhango is back
With a leaky defence, Amakhosi coach Arthur Zwane has to worry about the return of Gabadinho Mhango. The Malawian international was sent off during the first leg clash earlier this month. Mhango was on the scoresheet when AmaZulu played out to a 1-1 draw with Maritzburg United.
3. Goalkeeping situation
Amakhosi have used all three goalkeepers this season, but none of them have made a big statement when it comes to making sure that the club is tight at the back. Itumeleng Khune could return to the starting line-up, but he has not kept a clean sheet in a while.
