As Kaizer Chiefs prepare to take on Mamelodi Sundowns in the MTN8 second leg clash at Lucas Moripe Stadium, the big question is who will start in goal for the Soweto giants.
Amakhosi had Itumeleng Khune back in goal when they took on SuperSport United in the DSTV Premiership on Wednesday evening, going down 1-0 in a clash that supporters displayed their anger towards head coach Molefi Ntseki.

Petersen is likely to make a return for the clash and captain the side, with a possible back four of Zitha Kwinika, Given Msimango, Thatayaone Ditlhokwe and Sifiso Hlanti.
Ntseki has praised George Matlou in recent times and the former Swallows FC (now Moroka Swallows) player could get another opportunity to prove himself in the starting line-up. He could partner Edson Castillo and Yusuf Maart in the middle of the park, two players who are trusted by Ntseki.

Possible line-up: Petersen, Kwinika, Msimango, Ditlhokwe, Hlanti, Castillo, Maart, Matlou, Mmodi, Du Preez, Gonzalez
