Bartman ready for title fight

Johannesburg - Kaizer Chiefs goalkeeper Arthur Bartman believes his side can still lift the Absa Premiership trophy this season.

Amakhosi currently lie six points behind leaders Ajax Cape Town in fourth place and will need the three teams above them to slip up going into the final two matches if they are to claim league glory.

While winning the title seems like mission impossible at present, Bartman is confident of pipping Ajax, Orlando Pirates and Mamelodi Sundowns for top spot.

"I remain positive and it is the same with my team-mates," the former Bay United stopper told Chiefs' official website.

"It was a setback to lose against Mamelodi Sundowns last Sunday but the game is now history.

"We are still in with a chance as far as the championship go(es).

"Ajax owes us after beating us early this season in Cape Town."

Going into the big match this weekend against the Urban Warriors, Bartman believes there is nothing to fear.

"We do not need to worry about Ajax because they are coming to our home ground," Bartman added.

"They should be the ones worried about us. Our focus as the team is on doing well following the past two games."
