Stuart Baxter does not believe Moroka Swallows' current standing in the PSL reflects the quality of the side ahead of the clash against Kaizer Chiefs on Tuesday.

The Dube Birds were the surprise package last season, going from relegation candidates to PSL runners-up under former coach Gordon Igesund.
However, the side have failed to replicate that form this term, with new tactician Zeca Marques having taken the side to seventh with 14 points from their opening 10 Premiership matches.
The Birds will now take on Baxter's Glamour Boys at the FNB Stadium this week, and the Englishman feels the side's position in the table belies their abilities as a team.
"Swallows have been inconsistent, but you do know they have a lot of potential in the team and on a good day can beat anybody," Baxter told The Sowetan.
"For me they have underachieved in terms of where they expected to be at this stage of the season.
"I have watched a lot of their games, as I do to prepare, and the way they play doesn't match their standings on the (table)."
