Chiefs & Swallows Starting XIs Announced

Kaizer Chiefs and Swallows have announced their starting line-ups ahead of Monday’s DSTv Premiership clash at Peter Mokaba Stadium.

For Chiefs it is another must-win game, otherwise their chances of finishing in second could be over when Orlando Pirates, who currently sit five points ahead of them, win their match.

Amakhosi enter the game in decent form, having won seven out of their last nine games in all competitions, including a 1-0 victory over Chippa United on Thursday.

Chiefs are also unbeaten in four successive home games, winning three, while Swallows gained some breathing space in the relegation race with their 1-0 win over Maritzburg United on Freedom Day.

They’ve picked up seven points in their last four matches to climb to 31 on the log – five ahead of the relegation/promotion spot.

Chiefs, meanwhile, enter the tie with 44 points on the log, three behind third-placed SuperSport United and five behind Pirates.

Arthur Zwane confirmed that he’ll need to make a change in goalkeeper, with Itumeleng Khune replacing the suspended Brandon Petersen.

They find a familiar foe on the other side, with former Amakhosi keeper Daniel Akpeyi keeping three clean sheets for Swallows in their last four games.

Here is how they line up:

Chiefs XI: Khune, Hlanti, Ngcobo, Ngezana, Frosler, Maart, Sithebe, Shabalala, Mashiane, Du Preez, Saile.

Subs: Bvuma, Mathoho, Kwinika, Solomons, Alexander, Matlou, Zwane, Duba, Sekgota

Swallows XI: Akpeyi, Sam, Lukhubeni, Allan, Mthethwa, Patjie, Damons, Mtshali, Mngonyama, Malinga, Shwabule
