Arrows have tasted victory just once in the last eight matches. They appointed former Sundowns coach Manqoba Mngqithi this week to arrest their poor form.

A 1-0 home win over Kaizer Chiefs was followed a steady 1-1 home stalemate vs TS Galaxy. Two defeats followed, 2-1 at home to Chippa United in the PSL and 4-0 at Mamelodi Sundowns (Cup).

After fighting for a hard-earned 1-1 draw at Cape Town City, their last match saw a defeat. They were beaten 2-0 at TS Galaxy.

Arrows could still be without striker Lungelo Nguse due to injury. Sbonelo Cele should return to the XI at left back.

Young forward Bongani Cele could lead the line in preference to Knox Mutizwa. Captain Thabani Zuke is expected to be named on the bench after a long-term injury.
