Ernst Middendorp - Chiefs coach

Chiefs are keen to extend their five-match winning run in the league having defeated Chippa United 2-0 in their previous game.

While Pirates are hoping to return to winning ways in the league after being held to a 0-0 stalemate by Maritzburg United in their last match.

Chiefs head coach Ernst Middendorp says Dumisani Zuma, who grabbed a brace against Chippa, has given him a headache of whether to start with him against Pirates or not.

"If a player scores two goals coming out of the game," Middendorp said.

"I think it's not a secret, we coaches around the world we think about 'hmm, he's in such a good mood.'

"Can be an option for the Saturday game, there's no doubt about it."
