Rivers United Coach Tweaks Starting XI Ahead Enugu Rangers TieThe Rivers United technical manager, Stanley Eguma has  tweaked his starting XI ahead of Sunday’s Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) game against Enugu Rangers.

Sunday Rotimi keeps his place in goal and will make his 13th league start of the season ahead of Godwin Anyalogu, the reserve goalkeeper who is on the bench.

Chiwendu Ali and Ofem Inah are the wing backs with the former starting at left back.

The centre halves, Gabriel Olalekan and Festus Austin remain unchanged from the 1-2 defeat to Plateau United in Jos on match day 13.

Christian Weli, Ebuka Nnabue, Obomate Frederick and Yusus Jaiyeola all start in midfield but Eguma’s trump card is in attack.

The experienced gaffer has set the cat among the pigeons by opting to start Chigozie Ihunda in attack alongside former Bayelsa United forward, Bernard Ovoke.

Ihunda has played at right back for United all season.
