ToggleGOALKEEEPER – Kennedy Mweene
The Zambian legend has been excellent in this season's Champions League having two well-deserved clean sheets against Al Ahly.
Mweene will now be keen to make it three successive clean sheets in the continental tournament as he continues to enjoy regular game time in the absence of Downs' first-choice keeper Denis Onyango. - Backpagepix
RIGHT-BACK – Khuliso Mudau
The new Bafana Bafana international has been one of the most consistent Sundowns players this term and his exploits have earned him his maiden national team call-up.
Having made Masandawana's right-back position his own, Mudau is set to make his 23rd appearance across all competitions for Masandawana in the current campaign. - Backpagepix
LEFT-BACK – Lyle Lakay
Arguably among the best left-backs based in Africa, the SuperSport United academy product is in good form at the moment.
Lakay has formed a great telepathic understanding with Peter Shalulile and he provided the assist for the Namibia international's goal against Al Ahly last weekend.

CENTRAL DEFENDER – Brian Mandela
Lebusa's injury has seen the bulky centre back establish himself as a regular at the Chloorkop-based giants.
Mandela's aerial prowess will be important against Al Hilal, who tend to play a lot of crosses and long balls into the opposition's box.
