Deon Hotto, Rodney Ramagalela, Gabadinho Mhango and Kudakwashe Mahachi are the Golden Arrows players giving Mamelodi Sundowns defender Asavela Mbekile sleepless nights ahead of tomorrow's Absa Premiership clash at Lucas Moripe Stadium (6pm).
Mbekile, who describes himself as "one of the quickest players at Sundowns", warned that the Brazilians' rearguard should be wary of Arrows' attackers.
"It's going to be a difficult game because they have some quality players, especially up front," he said.
"They have Ramagalela and Mahachi, who both played for us. They also have Mhango and the guy from Namibia [Hotto]. Those players can cause problems," he said.
Sundowns lost the first round tie 2-1 to Arrows at Chatsworth Stadium in September, but Mbekile insists they can prevail.
"We must worry about getting the three points, not what happened in the first round," he said.
Sundowns have their own deadly combination with the likely return of Khama Billiat from a tight hamstring, which means he can reunite with Leonardo Castro and Keegan Dolly, the so-called "CBD".
Sundowns have conceded just six goals in nine league matches in their own back yard, but Hotto says their rivals are not invincible, as his side proved earlier this season.
"We did it once against them and we can do it again. They have weak points but they don't know."
