Chippa United forward Anthony Laffor is looking forward to facing his former team Mamelodi Sundowns today.
The two sides meet for a DStv Premiership clash at Sisa Dukashe Stadium in East London at 15h00.
Laffor spent eight years at Sundowns where he won the CAF Champions League and CAF Super Cup before moving to the Gqeberha-based side this year.
The Chilli Boys preparations have been disrupted by the departure of Luc Eymael, who only spent one day at training before his contract was cancelled due to the allegations of racism that continue to follow the Belgian.

City were trailing 1-0 during the half-time break and they came back rejuvenated following their half-time team talk with coach Jan Olde Riekerink.
The Dutch tactician had made a triple substitution - introducing Justin Shonga, Keanu Cupido and Abdul Ajagun prior to the start of the second-half.
It was Ajagun who made an impact on the game in the 66th minute as the former Nigeria youth international scored on his debut for City to make it 1-1.
Ultimately, the match ended in a 1-1 draw in regulation time and the Chilli Boys went on to win the match in extra-time.

Chippa United advanced to the Nedbank Cup last 16 with a 4-3 win on penalties against Free State Stars on Sunday afternoon.
Chippa named the big guns from the loss to Mamelodi Sundowns in the DStv Premiership, as Andile Mbenyane skippered the side whilst Anthony Laffor made his first start.
Allan Freese’s men put a number of bodies behind the ball following the earlier exchanges, but Chippa still carved a look-in with a promising strike from Maloisane Mokhele sailing narrowly wide.
It started to open up albeit slightly closer to the half-hour mark after Danny Venter worked an angle from a decent area to bring goalkeeper Ayanda Mtshali to a save with a snap-shot.
