Mamelodi Sundowns want to get back to the free-flowing form that saw them storm to the 2015-16 Premiership and 2016 Caf Champions League titles‚ saying the key player of those championships is Khama Billiat. The little Zimbabwean maestro believes a win for Downs against Kaizer Chiefs in the PSL’s first "big three" matchup of 2017-18 can spur the Brazilians back to their best. Sundowns‚ the strongest team on paper in SA‚ lost out to Bidvest Wits in last season’s PSL title race as runners-up‚ a schedule of 57 matches in that season appearing to play a role. The Brazilians have three wins from four games in the 2017-18 season‚ But the defending champions’ exit from the Champions League, with an away quarterfinal defeat against Wydad Casablanca, continued to suggest Pitso Mosimane’s team have lost an edge.
