Super Eagles coach Eric Chelle has announced his starting lineup for Saturday evening's Unity Cup final against Jamaica at The Valley in London.

Chelle has made one alteration to the side that began Nigeria's 2–0 victory over Zimbabwe.

Wrexham goalkeeper Arthur Okonkwo retains his place between the posts, a decision that sees Francis Uzoho named among the substitutes.

Chibueze Oputa and Obinna Igboke start at fullback, with Igoh Ogbu and Chibuike Nwaiwu partnering at centre-back.

Marseille winter signing Tochukwu Nnadi continues in midfield, where he is joined by Alhassan Yusuf and Samson Tijani.

Chelle will take another look at Millwall winger Femi Azeez, with the tri-national forward making his second consecutive start at the Unity Cup following his match-winning performance against the Warriors.

Terem Moffi, who provided two assists in his last outing, will lead the attack, supported by Rafiu Durosinmi.

The Super Eagles are aiming to win the Unity Cup for a record-extending fourth time, with kick-off at The Valley scheduled for 19:30 Nigerian time.

Nigeria starting XI: Okonkwo; Oputa, Ogbu, Nwaiwu, Igboke; Tijani, Yusuf, Nnadi, Azeez; Moffi, Durosinmi
