Kick-off in East London is set for this Saturday, and we will bring you every key moment as it happens.

Sundowns arrive as runaway league leaders on 19 points from seven games, unbeaten and riding five straight wins with a goal difference of plus 12, though Miguel Cardoso has been openly frustrated by the late venue switch, arguing it disrupted travel plans ahead of a FIFA Intercontinental Cup meeting with Al Ahli on September 19.

The champions-in-waiting are without right-back Khuliso Mudau, ruled out until around March after an Achilles rupture, but have brought in Deano van Rooyen on a free transfer from Orlando Pirates as cover, while Teboho Mokoena returns in form after scoring a late winner at Golden Arrows.

Chippa, by contrast, sit 12th with four draws and a defeat from five matches, the joint-lowest scoring return in the league at just two goals. Brandon Truter’s side have lost assistant coach Nkosohlanga Dikeni to resignation this week, and the manager has been candid about needing a striker within a tight budget, though goalkeeper Stanley Nwabali has been a rare bright spot, ranking second in the league for saves.

History overwhelmingly favours the visitors, with Sundowns having won 18 of 26 meetings between the sides and Chippa yet to record a single victory over them, a run that continued with a 4-1 defeat in Pretoria last season after a 1-1 draw in the reverse fixture.
