Daily Sun (May 24 2013) - KAIZER Chiefs are on the verge of the league and cup double . . .They are determined to bring down the curtain on Premier Soccer League season in style. THE ONLY THING STANDING IN THEIR WAY ARE THE CURRENT TITLE HOLDERS SUPERSPORT UNITED! The two teams will meet tomorrow in the season's showpiece event the Nedbank Cup at a sold-out Moses Mabhida Stadium in Durban at 3pm.

Amakhosi, who wrapped up the Absa Premiership title last weekend, stumbled in their final league game, losing 1-0 to University of Pretoria last weekend. They are determined not to let the "double" slip through their hands. Chiefs coach Stuart Baxter told Daily Sun: "We have not been consistent in the run-in to winning the league. It may have been the pressure but now that we have won the league that pressure should have eased. "We need to roll up our sleeves and go out and fight for every ball. SuperSport are a tough nut to crack!" Baxter predicted that just a single goal would separate the two teams at the end of the game.
