Together, Cape Town City and Bidvest Wits have 17 Absa Premiership players who have been booked for yellow cards ahead of ther MTN8 clash this weekend.

Wits' goalkeeper Moeneeb Josephs faces a two-match suspension due to the red card he received in the first leg of the MTN8 semi-finals against City on the weekend, which subsequently makes him unavailable for the second leg on Saturday as he sits out the last match of his suspension.

Coach Gavin Hunt will look to once again field Darren Keet between the poles this weekend after the shot-stopper's clean sheet against Polokwane City in the Absa Premiership on Tuesday night.

The Students currently have 10 players on bookings, with Xola Mlambo available to feature after the player sat out the two-match ban for receiving two yellow cards in the Clever Boys' MTN8 clash against Orlando Pirates.

Currently, between the two teams, 13 players hold single yellow cards, with the other four are half-way to a suspension.
