Kaizer Chiefs coach Arthur Zwane has predicted that his side will have "a mountain to climb" when they return to DStv Premiership action against Golden Arrows on New Year's Eve.
Soweto giants Kaizer Chiefs are set to compete in their first competitive match since 29 October when they travel to the Moses Mabhida Stadium in Durban to face Golden Arrows in the DStv Premiership on New Year's eve.
Ahead of the encounter, Amakhosi coach Arthur Zwane predicted a tough challenge from the Kwa-Zulu Natal-based side who currently occupy eighth position in the log standings.
"Golden Arrows are a difficult team to play against. They are very strong in their build up, and can vary their game and play long and short. They have very mobile players in their squad and have tactical flexibility in their final third entry," he told the club's website.

"They are very good in one versus one situations, as well. They're clinical. We are playing against a team who are very good going forward and who also have a very good defence. It's going to be a mountain to climb for us, but we will be ready come the game on Saturday.
He added, "We also have our weapons, and our strong points and weaknesses as well, but we try and make sure our strong points cover our weaknesses. We just hope the players who are available right now will grab their opportunity given to them.
"I see no problem or worries at the moment. We have good players who will go out there and represent the team very well."
Arrows previously recorded a 2-0 win over Maritzburg United prior to the 2022 FIFA World Cup-enforced break while Chiefs' last competitive match came in the form of a 1-0 victory over bitter rivals Orlando Pirates in the Soweto derby.
