Kaizer Chiefs Coach Nasreddine Nabi says they want to 'create history for the club' on Sunday.

Joni says doing so will be a 'huge mountain to climb'.

"The odds are heavily stacked against the Chiefs... if you look at the fact that the Chiefs are going into this game with a number of injuries and the number of doubtful starters with some key players likely to miss this game... doesn't paint a good picture for them... this game couldn't have come at a worse time for Kaizer Chiefs. This season has been nothing but a nightmare for them..."

"Nothing is impossible... they can easily spring a surprise but the odds are heavily stacked against Kaizer Chiefs in this game."
- Vuyani Joni, Editor - Soccer Laduma
"One thing about Mamelodi Sundowns, they've got depth, they've got quality... from the team that played in the last game, they can easily make a number of changes and those players will still be top, top, top quality..."
