Orlando Pirates host Sekhukhune United in a Carling Knockout quarter-final, with the winner advancing to the semi-finals and the defending champions seeking to keep their title defense alive. Pirates arrive in strong form after a Soweto Derby win and a 3-0 victory over Milford in the previous round; Sekhukhune reached the quarter-finals by beating Richards Bay 3-1. Pirates have won all three meetings between the sides this season and have historically dominated their cup matchups, though Sekhukhune have won their last two league visits to Orlando. Pirates captain Nkosinathi Sibisi says the club is pursuing trophies across all competitions after missing out on the MTN8.
