Tema Youth FC proved they really mean business in their fight to avoid the drop when they trounced regional rivals Great Olympics 4-0 at the Accra Sports Stadium two weeks ago.
They tackle Aduana Stars at the Tema stadium as they seek to move out from the relegation zone.
Meanwhile their home form is very questionable lately with only one victory in their last five fixtures.
If the Harbour City Boys fail to avoid defeat, they will move into the drop zone. They are lying 12th on the league table.
Club's top scorer Joseph Paintsil will miss Sunday's fixture through suspension along with skipper Jacob Larweh who is also suspended.
Joseph has bagged eight goals in the season so far with three of them coming in their last league game.
In the last two fixtures, Aduana Stars have had their title hopes dented with a last minute loss to Berekum Chelsea at away and a home stalemate with Asante Kotoko SC.
Despite the setback, the Fire Boys are trailing the league leaders WAFA SC with only two points.
Winning on Sunday with the hope the leaders suffer a defeat, they will be back on top of the league table.
The 2010 league champions are making a trip to the capital without shot stopper Joseph Addo.
He is expected to travel to the United States of America with the Black Stars for two international friendlies.
Reliable left back Daniel Darkwah will be available for the weekend's fixture after being dropped from the Black Stars squad that will face Mexico and USA.
