AmaZulu FC head coach Arthur Zwane is wary of the threat posed by Durban City ahead of the KZN derby at Moses Mabhida Stadium on Saturday (15h30).

The newly promoted side is enjoying a rich vein of fine form as it is currently in fourth place on the Betway Premiership standings, with 15 points accumulated from nine matches.

Meanwhile, Usuthu occupy position nine on the log, having collected 12 points with one game less than their KZN rivals.

Despite acknowledging City have no household names, Zwane is aware of the confidence in the opposing camp, pinpointing four danger men that could cause problems for his charges.

“We are playing against a team that is huge on confidence, a team that has been doing very well, a team with no big name players but very dangerous going forward and defending very well,” said the former Kaizer Chiefs coach.

"So, for the fact that they have no big name players, it tells you that they are unstoppable at some point. There is [Saziso] Magawana, there's [Samkelo] Maseko, there is also [Letsie] Koapeng as the top man, there is [Joslin] Kamatuka.

"They have top players, hardworking and hard running players who never stop running and they suit coach Gavin Hunt's style of play and that makes them very difficult [to play against]. They fight for every single ball, they make sure to make your life difficult.

AmaZulu will be eager to snap a two-game winless run in the league, while City will be keen to stretch their unbeaten run to three matches.
