Orlando Pirates have been boosted by the return of influential duo of Sipho Chaine and Nkosinathi Sibisi ahead of the Soweto derby.
The Buccaneers will play host to perennial rivals Kaizer Chiefs on Saturday in the round 16 of the Nedbank Cup, having edged out Richard Bays FC 3-1 at the weekend.
Kaizer Chiefs, on the other hand, made light work of Free Agent FC at the FNB Stadium to set up Pirates tie.
This will be the first time the two giants of South African football play each other at the FNB Stadium this weekend.
Having missed Richards Bay clash the duo are set to return for the upcoming derby, boosting Pirates squad.
Sipho Chaine, who is the first choice goalkeeper for Pirates was left out of the squad for Richards Bay clash to avoid risking losing him for the Kaizer Chiefs clash as he was one game away from suspension.
Meanwhile, Nkosinathi Sibisi, who missed Pirates previous clash due to accumulation of cards is back for the Kaizer Cheifs showdown.
