Mamelodi Sundowns XI against Orlando Pirates in MTN8 Cup - Shalulile out, Mkhulise starts

Premier Soccer League

TS Galaxy

Mamelodi Sundowns FC

Orlando Pirates

Polokwane City

The shot-stopper marked his return to the starting line-up with a clean sheet against Gallants, having&nbsp;been rested during the two Caf Champions League matches against La Passe.

GOALKEEPER: Ronwen Williams 

The highly-rated full-back also played well against Gallants and he has been given another chance to shine.

RIGHT-BACK: Khuliso Mudau 

The Bafana Bafana international did not feature in midweek as he is on three yellow cards, but he is in the team to play Bucs.

LEFT-BACK: Aubrey Modiba 

The 29-year-old defender was rock-solid against Bahlabane Ba Ntwa and he will be looking to replicate the same form this weekend.&nbsp;

CENTRE-BACK: Grant Kekana 

The former&nbsp;Pacos de Ferreira academy player partners Kekana at the heart of Sundowns' defence.

CENTRE-BACK: Rushine de Reuck

Andile Jali starts from the bench with Mvala getting another opportunity to impress.

CENTRAL MIDFIELDER - Mothobi Mvala 

The box-to-box midfielder, who is a permanent&nbsp;fixture on the team, grabbed his second assist of the season in midweek and he dominated the midfield battle.&nbsp;

CENTRAL MIDFIELDER: Teboho Mokoena 

Having been recently urged to add goals to his game by coach Mngqithi, the Cape Town-born midfielder netted against Gallants and has been handed another starting berth.

ATTACKING MIDFIELDER: Sphelele Mkhulise 

The versatile attacker produced a Man of the Match performance in midweek and his creativity could be key to the Tshwane giants' win over Pirates.

LEFT WINGER: Themba Zwane 

The 31-year-old has re-cemented his place in the starting line-up with his consistent displays and will pose a threat to Bucs' defence with unpredictable movement and tricks.&nbsp;

RIGHT WINGER: Gaston Sirino 

Chilean Allende replaces the injured Peter Shalulile.

FORWARD: Marcelo Allende
