Chiefs had a shaky start to the season after their opening goalless draw against Chippa United was followed by a 2-1 defeat to Mamelodi Sundowns in midweek, both in the league.
The Glamour Boys reached the semi-finals of this tournament last season but they were knocked out by AmaZulu on away goals after a 1-1 draw on aggregate.
The Citizens, in contrast, have a perfect start to the campaign after back-to-back 1-0 victories over Polokwane City and Moroka Swallows in the league.
The Cape Town outfit were knocked out of the this competition in the first round last season after going down 2-1 in extra-time to eventual finalists AmaZulu.
The Citizens completed a league double over Chiefs last season, after beating them 2-0 early in the season and 1-0 in the reverse at FNB Stadium, with the decisive goal scored by Mduduzi Mdantsane, who has since joined Amakhosi.
Here's how they line up:
Cape Town City: Keet, Mkhize, Mokeke, Cupido, Van Heerden, Ambina, Goedeman, Rhodes, Gonzalez, Mayo, Zapata
