AmaZulu host Kaizer Chiefs in a mouthwatering DStv Premiership clash at the Jonsson Kings Park stadium this afternoon.
AmaZulu have been rejuvenated following the arrival of one Benni McCarthy as head coach while Kaizer Chiefs on the other hand head into this afternoon’s clash in desperate circumstances following their worst ever start to the season.
The Amakhosi have won just one out of nine League games this season and sit just a single point above the relegation zone. A victory for AmaZulu will push them into the top eight. Follow all of the live action from KwaZulu-Natal below

No sympathy for struggling Amakhosi – Mzava
“Of course I know people say Kaizer Chiefs are not in a good way now‚ are not performing and all that. But we know in football you can’t just talk but you need to perform on the field‚” – AmaZulu defender Limbikani Mzava as quoted by TimesLive.
“So I feel like if we have one goal as a team. We have to win this game because we need three points more than them. We don’t care that they’re down or they’re not doing well. We’re focussing on each and every game and to collect maximum three points against Kaizer Chiefs.
“When I joined the team I said all the coaches have got their own tactics. Having been coached by coach Dlamini I feel like everything was okay also. But coach Benni also comes in and I see how he wants us to play. We’re adjusting to it well and I can see that with four or five games with him as a coach‚ I feel like we’re going to be perfect.”
