Soweto Derby: Kaizer Chiefs starting XI vs Swallows – Solomons & Sithebe dropped, Dolly starts

Khune is enjoying a consistent run of games, and as focus returns to the league, the experienced custodian keeps his place between the posts.

Dillon Solomons, who had made the right-back position his own, has been benched as Frosler makes a return.

His experience should come in handy as Chiefs look for a second consecutive PSL victory since beating SuperSport United.

He has built a reputation as an undroppable centre back for the Soweto giants and, going into the derby, his primary aim is to provide a solid performance at the back that will also result in a clean sheet.

Once again, the Mozambican has been paired with Kwinika at the back after a solid partnership against AmaZulu.

Blom maintains his place in the starting team in what is seen as a growth of confidence and trust by the technical bench.

He has never looked back since he was given his Chiefs debut and, with good midfield performances, Maart has made himself a key starter for Amakhosi over time.

He helped the Glamour Boys secure a draw with Usuthu in the cup tie and, with that, he has been handed a start after being benched in the last two games.

Meanwhile, Siyethemba Sithebe drops out of the starting XI.

Another start for Sekgota as Chiefs are looking to return to league duties on a winning note.

Another star who has not been spared by a restless fan base is Du Preez.

As he continues to amass minutes, Du Preez should hope for improved performance and find the back of the net regularly to ease the mounting pressure.

The Burundian should be buoyed up by a brace scored against SuperSport as Amakhosi host the local opponents.
