Two of the three scenarios that could occur at FNB Stadium on Thursday when Kaizer Chiefs host Mamelodi Sundowns worries Given Msimango, who has been wearing the captain's armband in the absence of the leaders who started the season with that responsibility. 

But the Amakhosi centre-back insists that the club will do the right thing, regardless of whether that means giving Sundowns a guard of honour in respect to them winning the DStv Premiership for what would be a record seventh successive time.

Chiefs could be forced to give their once rivals a guard of honour should Stellenbosch FC fail to beat Golden Arrows at the Danie Craven Stadium on Wednesday. But if Stellies win, the Brazilians could win the league at FNB Stadium if the unbeaten side that has only drawn just five of their 23 continues their good run.
