The Madibaz will play host to Ikey Warriors in what should be an exciting clash with both teams hunting for points in Port Elizabeth on Monday.
NMMU have a few injuries but will be boosted by the return of captain Kurt Duff who was forced to withdraw from their game last week.
Harrison is happy after a number of experienced players returned to the NMMU squad this week although striker Cloudius Sagandira is out after a clash of heads against UJ.
“Reginald Mabokane is in to add firepower to our line-up, so our attack should be a better on Monday,” said Harrison.
Defender, Cornelius Matuoane, is also sidelined with a knee injury and defenders Lukhanyo Stemele, Vuyolwethu Marele and attacker Sachin Jackson have also been called up to join the squad.
UCT have a full squad with no injuries but will be wary of their opponents who have only lost one game since ending second in the competition last year.
Coach, Rowan Hendricks, is happy with his team’s progress this week and believes fans will be treated to a feast of football on Monday.
“My guys are ready. We know it will be tough because they will want to prove a point, but we came here to win,” he said.
