Mduduzi Shabalala could be the youngest player on the pitch in Saturday's clash against Orlando Pirates, however, the Kaizer Chiefs starlet has opened up on taking to the pitch with Soweto Derby veterans.

Having featured in seven consecutive matches for Chiefs, three of which have come as a starter, Shabalala looks to be a shoo-in to feature for Arthur Zwane's side in the mammoth clash against Orlando Pirates.
At 19, Shabalala is likely to be the youngest player on the pitch; however, he is not overawed by his more established counterparts.
The Chiefs youngster says the age factor goes out of the window as soon as he steps onto the pitch.
"To be quite honest, there are no kids on the field of play," Shabalala said addressing the media at the Soweto Derby Press Conference at Vodaworld in Midrand.
"We are all the same. We are all playing for Kaizer Chiefs, so when you go onto that field, you must know that you're not playing for yourself. You're playing for an institution and everyone who came in numbers. You just have to play your normal game and do your best to get the result for the team. It's not about us, but it's about the team and the people who came in numbers.
There's no such thing as being a kid, you have to win," he said.
Shabalala will be motivated by the fact that he managed to find the back of the net in Chiefs' last game, scoring against Golden Arrows, his second goal of the season.
Kick off for the match is at 15:30.
