Kaizer Chiefs resume action on Tuesday, January 20 with an exciting Premier Soccer League outing against Manqoba Mngqithi’s Golden Arrows at the FNB Stadium.

This will be a massive game for co-coaches Cedric Kaze and Khalil Ben Youssef who had all their players available during the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) that recently concluded in Morocco.

The only win was against Marumo Gallants in the PSL, with the losses in that competition coming versus Orlando Pirates, TS Galaxy and AmaZulu respectively.

Manqoba Mngqithi’s men were also undone by Gallants in the Carling Knockout.

In the head-to-head record, Amakhosi have collected two wins in the last five meetings with Arrows collecting the remaining three victories. The latest meeting was in PSL and it ended 1-0 in favour of the Soweto giants.

What they said

Cedric Kaze Kaizer Chiefs 1

“We have had time to prepare; we resumed training on the 28 of December, which gave us until today more than three weeks to prepare for the game (against Arrows), and as we’ll prepare for the following games, the schedule is going to be very hectic in the coming weeks.

“We have done our preparations. We have played friendly games. We have prepared ourselves very well, and we are confident about the game. We know what we want and will try to minimise the fine margins by working on the small details to allow us to start on the front foot, because it is very important to start on the front foot.

“As you can see at the top of the log, it is a bit crowded, and everyone wants to stay within the top for the coming few weeks so that you can be able to make a difference – Cedric Kaze, Kaizer Chiefs co-coach.

Team News and Starting XI

Kaizer Chiefs might be without Siyabonga Mthethwa who, reportedly, is nursing a knee injury,

It is interesting to see the progress made by the likes of Ethan Chislett and Nkanyiso Shinga who haven’t made their debut since joining the Glamour Boys.

Arrows have no any reported injury concerns which is a massive boost for the technical team.

Chiefs Probable XI: Petersen, Monyane, Kwinika, Miguel, Cross, Cele, Ndlovu, Shabalala, Lilepo, Duba, Mayo

Arrows Probable XI: Ngcobo, Philips, Comara, Jiyane, Cele, Dlamini, Ayabulela, Ndlovu, Cisse, Van Rooi, Dion
