AmaZulu will feel the wrath of Mamelodi Sundowns, who will be chasing their first victory at home in the Absa Premiership tomorrow (8.15pm).

Sundowns have three wins and two losses so far, with both defeats coming at home, with the same 2-1 score-line against Polokwane City and Kaizer Chiefs. The Brazilians will be determined to make up for their loss to Chiefs at Loftus Versveld in midweek.

Coach Pitso Mosimane has been preoccupied with welcoming returnees from injury and also integrating new players, especially George Lebese and Oupa Manyisa.

Mosimane concedes that he will have to study Usuthu - who have a record of three losses, two wins and two draws ahead of their clash at Lucas Moripe Stadium.

"AmaZulu are a closed book. I saw a little bit [of them] when they played Platinum Stars and Golden Arrows, so I will have to check and unpack," Mosimane said.

"At home we have lost two, when we travel it's a 100% record it's unbelievable. Maybe AmaZulu should have been away."

Sundowns started the season with an extensive injury list that included Khama Billiat, Anthony Laffor, Wayne Arendse, and Tiyani Mabunda. Mabunda made his return to the starting team against Chiefs but will serve suspension after being sent off on Tuesday.

Lebese got a substitutes' run against Amakhosi after recovering from bronchitis, which he picked up in Morocco when they played Wydad Casablanca in the CAF Champions League.
