Mamelodi Sundowns coach Trott Moloto is looking forward to Sunday's MTN8 first leg semi-final clash against Tshwane neighbours SuperSport United (kick-off 3pm).

Moloto, who guided Sundowns to a 1-0 victory over Free State Stars last week, said he was delighted to be playing United so soon in the 2008/09 season.

"United are the PSL champions and we are the defending top eight champions. We are determined to get to the final and win the R8-million winner-takes-all prize," said Moloto.

He added: "We beat them twice in the league last season but that counts for nothing. This is a new season, we have a new team. My biggest worry is who to pick and who to leave out. But that is a nice sort of problem for a coach."

Moloto also welcomed the return of defender Mbulelo Mabizela and striker Sibusiso Zuma who were declared fit for Sunday's crunch match.

The duo missed last week's quarterfinal victory over Stars because of injuries. "It could not have happened at a better time. We were glad that they returned to the team as early as Tuesday which gave us more time to prepare for weekend?s game.

"They form part of our plans for the match and it gives us pleasure that they are back and available for selection," said Moloto.

Meanwhile, United skipper Ricardo Katza says Saturday's clash is not about the MTN8 Cup, but all about pride and bragging rights to walk off with the title of 'Kings of Tshwane'.

"We both won our previous cup matches, so we are all going into this encounter with great courage and confidence," said Katza.

"The exciting part of the upcoming derby emanates from the swap deal that was clinched between SuperSport and Sundowns prior to the start of the current season.

"Our two regulars Katlego Mphela and Siboniso Gaxa are now in the books of our neighbours and on the other hand we acquired the services of Brent Carelse," concluded Katza.
