Orlando Pirates have named a depleted starting line-up for their league encounter against Golden Arrows on Tuesday.
Kick-off at Moses Mabhida Stadium is at 19:30.
The Buccaneers head into this encounter without two of their key players in Nkosinathi Sibisi and Thalente Mbatha.
Both Sibisi and Mbatha are serving suspension but they will be available for selection against Kaizer Chiefs on the weekend.
Furthermore, three stars in Patrick Maswanganyi, Relebohile Mofokeng and Tapelo Xoki are on three yellow cards each.
However, coach Jose Riveiro has opted to reserve only Mofokeng for the Nedbank Cup final against Amakhosi at the same venue on Saturday afternoon.
Other regulars who have been rested include goalkeeper Sipho Chaine, Evidence Makgopa, and Mohau Nkota.
As things stand, Pirates are 12 points behind log leaders Mamelodi Sundowns, and the aim is to close that gap.
