It promises to be another exciting Super Sunday in the Nigeria Professional Football League with two derby games to look forward to.
Table toppers, Rangers who were undone by Lobi Stars of Makurdi midweek will entertain Enyimba in the Oriental Derby at the Nnamdi Azikwe Stadium, Enugu.
The Flying Antelopes who saw their six games unbeaten streak ended by Lobi Stars in midweek will be out to pick maximum points in this tie to cement their place at the top.
The Coal City side will also want to avenge their 2-1 loss to Enyimba in Enugu last term.
Enyimba have struggled in the NPFL this season and are currently in 17th place though they still have four outstanding games.
At the Akure Township Stadium, Sunshine Stars and Shooting Stars will clash in the South West Derby.
The home side are without a win this season and will take inspiration from their 0-0 midweek away draw against Rivers United in Port Harcourt. 3SC on the other hand have failed to pick a point on their travels.
Fourth-placed Kano Pillars and FC IfeanyiUbah will do battle at Sani Abacha Stadium.
Pillars have won all their home games this term, but face a stiff test with their opponents having some highly rated foreigners in their ranks.
Warri Wolves who just appointed Dutchman Ard Sluis as their technical adviser will take on Lobi Stars in Warri, while El-kanemi Warriors tackle Nasarawa United in Katsina.
