Asante Kotoko players

Asante Kotoko's fine start in the season encountered a stumbling block in the midweek when they conceded a penalty very late in the game.

They will be looking to arrest the slump on Sunday afternoon when new boys Eleven Wonders FC come to visit the Baba Yara stadium

To make things more interesting, the Porcupine Warriors will come into it on the back of a 1-0 loss away at Medeama SC.

They will be making it two home victories in a row if they are able to beat Wonders on the weekend.

The Reds have a rich home record going into this fixture counting from last season.

Kotoko are unbeaten in their last twenty six premier league games at home.

Right back and captain Amos Frimpong is expected to make a comeback from a knock he sustained last week against Inter Allies FC.

Sadick Adams and Isaac Amponsah are still nursing injuries ruling them out of this encounter.

Eleven Wonders FC are making some strives in their debut season in the top-flight as they hold an unbeaten streak for their journey to Kumasi to face giants Asante Kotoko SC.

They have won one and drew two of their three matches played in the league at the moment.

Having already held another giant Hearts of Oak to a 1-1 stalemate, the newcomers are hopeful of picking at least another vital point in weekend's fixture against the Porcupine Warriors.

With a 3-1 win over Bechem United in the midweek, Wonders are having some inspiration ahead of their visit to the Ashanti regional capital.

They were 1-0 losers when they faced the Reds in the G8 pre-season tournament at the same venue.

Abdul Mumuni Gammel has each of his squad available for selection on Sunday.
