Dillan Solomons: It's time to show people what Kaizer Chiefs are about

The Soweto giants face rivals Orlando Pirates in the showpiece final at the Moses Mabhida Stadium on May 10, but before then they take on Marumo Gallants and Pirates in the league.

They have endured some indifferent form in the league this season but are hoping to achieve their goal of a top-eight finish with four games of their season to play.

Amakhosi are currently in eighth place on the league standings, but level on 30 points with AmaZulu in ninth, and just two ahead of 10th-placed Magesi.

As they look to end a 10-year-long trophy drought, Solomons explained they are trying to best to remained focus on their upcoming league games.

The wing-back said in the Sowetan: "It's difficult [to fully focus on the league games before the Nedbank final].

"Obviously, you're naturally focused on the final. Any human being would be excited for that moment, but it's just how you prepare mentally for every game.

"The way I see it, we can use those games as a momentum builder going into the final ... it's not easy games obviously; Marumo are not an easy team, people always think they're an easy team but they are not an easy team.

"And then we've got the league derby before the big one, it's a game we need to go out there and show confidence if you want to go to the final and win it.

"We have to show that we can do it in these last few games, show people what we are about."
