Kaizer Chiefs will be without an influential midfield lynchpin Sibongiseni Mthethwa for their clash with Cape Town Spurs. How will Cavin Johnson line up his troops accordingly?

Predicted Kaizer Chiefs XI vs Cape Town Spurs
Petersen; Frosler, Ngcobo, Ditlhokwe, Dove; Maart, Castillo; Shabalala, Ngcobo, Dolly; Saile
Sifiso Hlanti and Pule Mmodi might not be risked as both are on three bookings for the campaign and on the cusp of suspension. A needless yellow card here would rule them out of the massive Soweto Derby clash with Orlando Pirates on the 11th of November. Mduduzi Shabalala and Keagan Dolly should keep their places on the flanks, while we could see a recall for Nkosingiphile Ngcobo in the number 10 role.
RUMOURS: Kaizer Chiefs earmark two marquee targets for January
MTHETHWA SUSPENDED FOR SPURS CLASH
Chiefs welcome rock-bottom Spurs to FNB Stadium on November 8th and will be without ex-Stellies star Sibongiseni Mthethwa after an accumulation of bookings. Sifiso Hlanti, scorer of the Glamour Boys consolation goal in their 2-1 defeat to Golden Arrows, is on three bookings for the season and would miss the Orlando Pirates match on November 11th if he picks up a yellow against Spurs. The same can be said for Pule Mmodi.
Kickoff between Chiefs and Spurs at FNB Stadium, behind closed doors on Wednesday the 8th of November, is at 19:30.
