Dwarfs

Ebusua Dwarfs need to repeat their display that edged Aduana Stars in week 14 to overcome ever improving Liberty Professionals in the Ghana Premier League second round at the Robert Mensah stadium on Sunday.

The Crabs are unbeaten in their last two games and have lost only once since Prosper Narteh took over as head coach of the club.

A victory over Liberty Professionals will be a giant step in their attempt to avoid drop at the end of the season. They have full strength side at disposal ahead of Sunday's big game.

Justice Mensah, Christopher Bonney, Stephen Bentil, Agya Fuseini and Gilbert Fiamenyo have been given their debuts since joining Ebusua Dwarfs. Richard Arhin and Alhaji Saani could make their debuts this Sunday if selected.

Liberty Professionals approach the sixteenth week fixture in a high flying mood after reaching the semi-finals of the MTN FA Cup last week. They romped past Elmina Sharks with a 3-0 victory.

Kennedy Ashia has returned to the club after his contract termination with Sudanese giants Al Hilal. He is expected to feature for the Scientific Soccer Lads in Sunday's match.

Derrick Appiah could also make his first bow for the club since moving from France side AS Monaco. Centre back and captain Samuel Sarfo make a return into the starting line-up when they travel to Cape Coast.
