Stuart Baxter says Kaizer Chiefs have something to shout about ahead of their next game against Eric Tinkler's Cape Town City at home.Kaizer Chiefs coach Stuart Baxter says he had to rest some players against Swallows as he was aware of the pressure on the squad with matches coming thick and fast, and admits he will have a “good problem” when selecting the team to play Cape Town City at home on Saturday.

“It was a very difficult game, the pitch was troublesome, the wind was very strong and it made good football quite difficult, but we produced three classes of excellence which brought us the three goals,” said the 68-year-old Briton who was in charge when Chiefs last won the title in May 2015. Baxter made five substitutions in the last 20 minutes, with 21-year-old Sabelo Radebe, Siphosakhe Ntiya-Ntiya, Lebogang Manyama, Kgaogelo Segota and Siyabonga Ngezana all coming off the bench with Swallows already dead and buried.

“With these three games we have had in such a short space of time the load on the players is enormous,” said Baxter.
