Watford star Oghenekaro Etebo has made way for Joe Aribo in the heart of the midfield, while the fullbacks to start today against Liberia in a 1-4-2-3-1 formation are Jamilu Collins and Ola Aina.
Wilfred Ndidi will therefore partner Aribo in the holding midfield position with the Rangers star enjoying a more attacking role.
Otherwise, the starting XI against the Lone Star of Liberia is predictable with Maduka Okoye in goal and Leon Balogun and William Ekong forming the ‘Oyibo Wall’.
Alex Iwobi and Moses Simon will provide width in the Eagles attack with Victor Osimhen the arrowhead and Kelechi Iheanacho playing behind the Napoli striker.
