Skipper Musa Muhammed will lead the Flying Eagles against Enyimba in Saturday’s Super 4 opening day clash at the Abuja National Stadium.
Kick-off time is 3pm and the match will be televised live on television.
Coach Manu Garba has lined up a strong team against the Nigeria league runners-up last season.
Mountain of Fire FC of Lagos goalkeeper Joshua Enaholo will start behind a defence of skipper Muhammed, Mustapha Abdullahi, Prince Izu Omego and Zaharadeen Bello.
The midfield has Ifeanyi Ifeanyi, Akinjide Idowu, Wasiu Jimoh and Abdullahi Alfa, while the attack will be Taiwo Awoniyi and Prince Aggrey from Sunshine Stars.
Overseas professionals Musa Yahaya, Chidera Eze as well as Ifeanyi Matthew, who only rejoined the squad after trials in Europe, will thus start from the bench.
