I think Ayew will play on the left, with Afena-Gyan in the middle.
17:37
Ghana make one change from the first leg, Daniel-Kofi Kyere coming in for Abdul Fatawu Issahaku. Jordan Ayew, the target for no small amount of criticism, keeps his place.
17:35
Ghana XI: Wallacot; Odoi, Mensah, Amartey, Djiku; Iddrisu, Kudus, Partey; Afena-Gyan, Kyere, Ayew.
17:30
We have a Ghana line-up!

That said, I was looking forward to seeing Kamaldeen Sulemana at Afcon, and he did near enough nowt, so maybe I'm just talking nonsense.

I'm really looking forward to seeing how Mohammed Kudus and Afena Gyan do for Ghana. I was staggered that neither were picked to go to Cameroon and we saw what happened as a (partial) consequence.

I'm struggling to find the Ghana team here. It'll be with you when I 've got it.

Let's have some teams...

I'm looking forward to this one, and not just because I love jollof rice - the dish which both countries think they invented and make better. Though Nigeria and Ghana do not border one another, they are linked as West African Anglophone rivals and ECOWAS partners, as well as football powerhouses.
Historically, Ghana have the edge, but currently Nigeria are better - they did not make a royal show of themselves at Afcon, and the goalless draw they got in Kumasi on Friday night makes them favourites to go through. But Ghana have the firepower to turn them over, making a match to determine who goes to the World Cup this as exciting a prospect as we're getting in an international week.
