With their lead reduced to a mere two points, after the Craig Rosslee-coached 'Urban Warriors' went four matches without a win in the Premiership and claimed just two of the last 12 points on offer.

However the chance to end off the year sitting proudly at the head of the league table will be all the motivation Ajax need for the visit of 'Abafana Bes'thende' to the fairest Cape.

The match will also signal the end of Thembinkosi 'Tera' Fanteni's time with Ajax, with the striker set to do duty at the 2008 MTN Africa Cup of Nations for Bafana Bafana before setting out for Israel where he will link up with new club Maccabi Haifa.

Arrows, after their heartbreaking defeat at home to SuperSport United in midweek, have lost two in a row and will need a quick return to form if they are to get a result in Cape Town.

Statistically speaking, Ajax have had the edge over Arrows since the latter's promotion to the top flight for the 2000/01 season, with the 'Urban Warriors' winning six matches to their opponent's four in 14 league meetings.

The Cape side also took four points off Arrows last season after drawing their home game 2-2 and winning 2-0 in Durban thanks to goals from Granwald Scott and a certain Mr Fanteni.
