Thanks to the abundance of attacking options available to coach Jose Peseiro, the Super Eagles will start a lethal strike force of Victor Osimhen and Victor Boniface supported by wingers Samuel Chukwueze and Ademola Lookman versus Saudi Arabia.
Osimhen will spearhead the attack, while Bayer Leverkusen star Victor Boniface will be happy to drop back deep often.
The Green Falcons of Saudi Arabia will hope to halt a terrible run that has seen them go winless in their last six matches.
Peseiro has settled for a 4-4-2 formation, which will have stand-in captain Wilfred Ndidi and Alex Iwobi in midfield with Chukwueze and Lookman tucking back into the middle when the Eagles are defending.
The defence to protect goalkeeper Francis Uzoho are Calvin Bassey, Semi Ajayi, Bruno Onyemaechi and Tyronne Ebuehi.
Kick-off today is 5pm.
