Berekum Chelsea will host Hearts of Oak at the Golden City park this Sunday as they look to return to winning ways after a 2-0 stumbling at Sogakope before the break.
A 43 matches home unbeaten record set by the Blues came to an end when the Phobians last visited the same venue.
They hope to stop another heartbreak this time around.
They currently hold a home unbeaten run of eleven games. Youngster Stephen Amankona is returning into the squad for Sunday's clash.
He couldn't travel with the team to Sogakope two weeks ago.
Stephen Sarfo and midfielder Kwame Acheampong are also expected back in the squad for the Phobians visit. The duo were missing in the game against WAFA SC.
Hearts of Oak are hopeful of building upon their victory over arch rivals Asante Kotoko SC last two weeks to pick all three points at the Golden City park this Sunday as they did last term.
The Phobians claimed the first bragging rights of the season with a 1-0 win through a controversial penalty in the last ten minutes of the crunchy derby.
Captain and centre back Ruben Gnagne has returned to training following an injury but might not make the squad to Berekum for the match day nine fixture. Richard Yamoah remains sidelined.
The return of Malik Akowuah and Inusah Musa from the injuries they attracted against the Porcupine Warriors got the Rainbow side boosted ahead of Sunday's match.
First choice goalkeeper Benjamin Kusi Mensah is expected back in the sticks for the Phobians.
