The Maroons went four points clear of the chasing pack in second place after beating Kaizer Chiefs 1-0 at the FNB Stadium on Tuesday, courtesy of Devin Titus's 45th-minute goal.

It was their first win against the Glamour Boys in two years and extended Stellies' unbeaten run in the league to 13 matches as they continued to push for CAF Champions League football.

Barker's side have yet to get the better of Babina Noko in four top-flight meetings, drawing three times and losing once, and this will be the first of two encounters between them in the space of 11 days.

Sekhukhune have impressed under Lehlohonolo Seema, who has lost just one of his opening nine games at the helm since replacing Brandon Truter on 20 November.

The Kempton Park outfit saw a five-match winning streak come to an end with a 2-2 draw against Cape Town City at the Peter Mokaba Stadium on Wednesday.

However, they remain unbeaten in their last seven outings and are still ahead of Orlando Pirates (4th) and SuperSport United (5th) on goal difference in third spot, with all three clubs tied on 34 points.
