CT City Aim To Topple Downs With 6-Game Streak

Cape Town City head coach Eric Tinkler has discussed his side's chances of toppling Mamelodi Sundowns at the top of the Premiership table.

The Brazilians did not lose their top spot in the standings despite not playing league football for two months.

However, the Citizens will have a chance to leapfrog Masandawana at the top of the table when they travel to Golden Arrows on Sunday evening.

With the Tshwane giants still not in domestic league action over the weekend, starting off their CAF Champions League group stage campaign and SuperSport United in the CAF Confederation Cup, City will go top of the table if they beat Arrows, although they would have played five games more than the Brazilians.

Tinkler says they are confident after winning five games in a row in the league.

"Our next game is against Golden Arrows, a team that has always been difficult for us, recently we lost to them in the Carling Knockout but we come off a back of five (league) wins (in a row), so we need to go into this game with a lot of belief, a lot of confidence, a lot of morale," Tinkler told the club's media.

"But at the same time don't show any complacency. They are going through a period of four losses, so their confidence and morale is not where it should be, so we need to play to our advantage.

"Put out a good performance and ultimately, ensure that we come back with maximum points. We are fortunate for the fact that we have everybody available, (Juan) Zapata is back, fully fit, so he's up for selection," he said.

"Katlego Mokhuoane is back fit, so he's also up for selection, so everybody is raring to go. The mood and the ambience at the club has been exceptionally good over the past two weeks. Obviously we would have preferred not to have a break in order to achieve our objectives," he added.
