To say Kaizer Chiefs have blown hot and cold so far this season is illustrated by their lowly position on the standings where they are sitting in seventh in the DStv Premiership and have only 12 points to show from nine matches.
In an inconsistent campaign like this, it is always difficult to point out the best players but the likes of Erick Mathoho, Keagan Dolly and Khama Billiat have risen shoulders above the rest so far.
Coach Stuart Baxter is going to rely on their experience in this Soweto derby where they are desperate for maximum points that will move them up a few places on the ladder. TimesLIVE examines the three key Chiefs players who can win Saturday's Soweto derby against Orlando Pirates at FNB Stadium for Amakhosi: There have been some mistakes from the former Bafana Bafana defender under pressure but he has been everpresent in that defence that includes Daniel Cardoso and Njabulo Ngcobo or Thabani Dube.
So far, he has been integral for Amakhosi in that heart of the defence with eight appearances out of nine and a lot is going to be expected from him to keep Pirates' attackers at bay.The Zimbabwean international looks to be enjoying his football again under coach Stuart Baxter and he is one of the players that Orlando Pirates must guard against because he may hurt them.
Just like Mathoho, he has featured in eight matches for Amakhosi in the league so far where he has returned with two goals and assists and he is enjoying momentum.
