Patrick Maswanganyi among the Orlando Pirates players who are expected to shoulder more responsibility if the side is to maintain their positive start to their season.
Orlando Pirates will look to make it back-to-back victories in the Betway Premiership when they face AmaZulu at Kings Park Stadium on Wednesday.
The defending champions opened their league campaign with a victory over newly promoted Milford FC, but head coach Abdeslam Ouaddou will know another demanding test awaits against an AmaZulu side playing in front of their home supporters.
Pirates have already had a busy start to the season, needing extra time to overcome Durban City in the MTN8 quarter-finals before beginning their title defence with victory.
They now face an AmaZulu team looking to respond after their dramatic MTN8 exit at the hands of Sekhukhune United.
