The Brazilians remained unbeaten since the start of the season after humiliating Orlando Pirates 4-1 last Friday, which was their fourth successive win.
Sundowns are leading the table by 17 points and could go 20 points clear if Orlando Pirates don't get maximum points against Marumo Gallants.
The Tshwane giants will be without striker Kermit Erasmus who will be serving his last match suspension after he was red-carded against Baroka.
Usuthu, on the other hand, won for the first time after drawing seven matches in a row, with a late 1-0 win over Marumo Gallants last Friday.
However, Benni McCarthy's charges, as they were not in action over the weekend, have since dropped down to sixth on the table with 24 points, just two points behind second-placed Royal AM.
Sundowns will be looking to complete a league double over AmaZulu after edging them 1-0 in the opening game of the campaign.
