Manyama: These are the games we want to play

Cape Town - Kaizer Chiefs attacker Lebogang Manyama says the Soweto club will be targeting maximum points against SuperSport United and Cape Town City but admits their task won't be easy.

Amakhosi are near the summit of the Absa Premiership table after making a strong start to their campaign, recording wins over Highlands Park and Black Leopards.

However, their next two games will crank up the pressure as SuperSport have already claimed the scalps of Wits and Pirates - both impressive 3-0 victories - while Benni McCarthy's Cape Town City managed to hold reigning Absa Premiership champions Sundowns to a 1-1 draw on Tuesday evening.

Manyama is seemingly undaunted by the task that lies ahead, expressing his excitement ahead of Saturday's clash with SuperSport at FNB Stadium.

"It is very exciting," he told reporters. "It is one of the biggest weeks which we will have in the entire season.

"We are playing against SuperSport and then we will face Cape Town City three days later. These are tough games. We know how good these teams are."

He continued: "These are the games we want to play. I think everybody at Kaizer Chiefs cannot wait to play or see such games.

"So, we will do our best and try to win both matches, (but) obviously, it is going to be tough.

"We will see what happens on Saturday then worry about Cape Town City."

Amakhosi’s clash against SuperSport kicks off at 18:00 on Saturday,
