As Kaizer Chiefs, we don't want to see Yusuf Mart anywhere near the starting line-up on Saturday, please – Brian Ntshwabi 

Goodluck Bucs, we need to take our chances early in the first half and at least have a two-goal lead going to half time then wrap up the match around the 60th minute so that we can rest our key players for the match against Sekhukhune United – Amabhakaniya

Pirates need those three points more than Chiefs. We want the league and they are fighting for the top eight – Dumi Ngwane 

The referee should focus on this match because the blame will be on him. Nobody, I mean no one wants to be beaten by Orlando Pirates on earth. Even humans are afraid of ghosts although they know they're already dead people –  ZE VE GE 

I'm not expecting anything less than four or five goals; our players create maybe 15 chances per game. Just work on your finishing gentlemen – Khathide Terry

The hiding Chiefs will get is still doing push-ups

Nasreddine Nabi

With all the preparation you are doing I hope you have put 100% on mentality because our referees always spoil the party and Chiefs players do not react well – Nthabiseng Gift

Honestly, Kaizer Chiefs fans are scared. Please coach, consider Happy Mashiane at left-back because Pirates wingers are so fast – Dlamini Hunter Motjolopane 

It's a must win match for us because if we lose then we will be giving sundowns too much space upfront and we might as well forget about the league. We have to win this match no matter what situation – Sivenkosi Hanana

The hiding we are going to get from Orlando Pirates this weekend is still doing push-ups – Fana Manamela 

Is anyone checking if Kaizer Chiefs are at the gym? We don’t want any excuses – Kabelo Moseki
