Kaizer Chiefs return to Premier Soccer League duty on Monday with an away fixture against struggling TS Galaxy.

The Glamour Boys have not had a good run recently; in the last three matches, they have managed one win. They defeated Richards Bay 2-1 despite being a man less before throwing a two-goal lead and ended up drawing 2-2 with Royal AM. The two games were played at the Peter Mokaba Stadium in Polokwane.

Coach Nasreddine Nabi will be leading his team against the Rockets at the Mbombela Stadium without some key players who are injured as confirmed by the Soweto giants.
