Kaizer Chiefs will be hoping to finally win silverware as they start their Nedbank Cup campaign, but Milford FC assistant coach Nkululeko Buthelezi has other ideas when they clash on Sunday.
Chiefs are launching another pursuit at cup glory to finally bring a nine-year trophy drought to a halt, while Milford are a Motsepe Foundation Championship side and Buthelezi is looking to cause an upset.

Chiefs don't have a rosy record against lower tier teams in this cup and over the years have succumbed to FC Cape Town, Baroka FC, Richards Bay and TS Galaxy.
''According to me they had their own plan to beat Kaizer Chiefs, we also have our own plan, and we are not willing to hold back,' Buthelezi said, according to SABC Sport.
Interestingly, the coach concedes that management of the Stallions all support Amakhosi. However, that won't be a distraction, according to Buthelezi as they will still go all out, fully focused to defeat the Naturena-based side.
"What's interesting is that the leaders at Milford FC they all support Kaizer Chiefs, but we will beat them anyway.
''Playing against Kaizer Chiefs is already a big motivation for us, the team knows what is expected of them," said the assistant mentor.
Milford were embroiled in salary issues recently, which the coach admits disturbed the preparations of the team.
"We have had issues with non-payments which disturbed the team a little bit, but we have managed to overcome that, so now there is nothing that will hinder the team to go forward,'' Buthelezi added.
