The 30-year-old is no stranger to the Soweto derby and has already faced Pirates on 10 occasions as a Chiefs player across all competitions before.

Maluleka feels Chiefs has warned his side not to get carried away but insists they can cope with playing three games in a week.

‘Pirates are very big rivals of Kaizer Chiefs and when you play against them you always want to be on the winning end,’ Maluleka told his club’s official website.

‘For us it’s very important to remain focused and carry out the game plan, from the technical staff side. We cannot get ahead of ourselves. As a club as a team we have been doing very well and we just want to carry on. Because we know as a team where we are going, what we are doing and it’s always nice to win against Pirates.
