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.

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.
DStv Premiership standings to five points with a 2-0 victory over
Chippa United at Loftus Versfeld on Sunday.
The Brazilians made five changes from their last-gasp win over Black Leopards, as they were bolstered by the return of Ricardo Nascimento and Lyle Lakay while Andile Jali, Gaston Sirino and Sphelele Mkhulise were all recalled.
With eight minutes gone, Lebohang Maboe laid one back for Jali as he lined it up from range but his shot sailed just inches wide of the upright.
Great team pressing from the Downs front three led to Erasmus gathering the ball and firing an effort which narrowly missed the upright.
Chippa United coach Dan Malesela has revealed his plans for senior players Andile Mbenyane and Kurt Lentjies as they struggle for regular game-time.
Last year the longest-serving player in the team Mbenyane was close to leaving the club under former coach Lehlohonolo Seema and had been struggling to gets minutes along with Lentjies.
Mbenyane, however, started against SuperSport United on Wednesday night and rewarded the coach s faith by scoring the opening goal in a 2-2 DStv Premiership draw.
New coach Malesela has another plan for the two seniors players as be believes it is not fair to judge players based on age.
