Predicting Kaizer Chiefs' XI to face Royal AM in PSL encounter

21:24 GMT+3 05/08/2022

Amakhosi will travel to the Chatsworth Stadium where they are scheduled to face Thwihli Thwahla on Saturday evening

Amakhosi will begin a new era under coach Arthur Zwane who will be keen to mastermind a win over Royal AM in a PSL clash.

The Glamour Boys welcome back Kamohelo Mahlatsi from an injury earlier this week.

While George Matlou, Mahlatsi and Dillon Solomons (all Swallows), Yusuf Maart (Sekhukhune United), Ashley du Preez and Zitha Kwinika (both Stellenbosch) and Siyethemba Sithebe (AmaZulu) have all joined Amakhosi in the current transfer window.

GOAL predicts Amakhosi's starting line-up.
