Caretaker coach Augustine Eguavoen has changed formation to 4-3-3 from 3-4-3 as earlier predicted and as a result Samuel Chukwueze and Semi Ajayi have dropped to the bench.
In their places, Moses Simon and Frank Onyeka will start.
Eguavoen has gone with a flat back-four with Calvin Bassey and captain William Ekong as central defenders.
That means Ajayi drops to the bench.
Wilfred Ndidi and Frank Onyeka are the defensive midfielders with Alex Iwobi in central midfield.
Victor Boniface leads the attack with support on the sides by Ademola Lookman and hardworking Moses Simon.
