The two clubs are hoping to smash the other for the three maximum points and the bragging rights on Sunday.
It will be tactical battle between Maxwell Konadu and Edward Nii Odoom at the dugouts of the various teams.
The office of Kyfilla.com have compiled the combined eleven ahead of the big clash tomorrow.
Felix Annan (GK) – The goalkeeper will return from his honeymoon to mount the posts for Kotoko and definitely stands tall ahead of the other goalkeepers for the two teams.
Fatawu Mohammed (RB) – Kotoko’s Christopher Nettey has been consistent and phenomenal at the right-back role but the experience of Fatawu cannot be overlooked. When Fatawu is in his form, goal scoring becomes not a problem for the Phobians.
Raddy Ovuoka (LB) – The most improved player at Hearts of Oak this season. The Congolese has been spectacular for the Phobians, beating William Denkyi for the starting berth in most of their matches. Though Ibrahim Moro and Patrick Yeboah have been superb, Ovuoka definitely stands tall.
Robert Addo (CB) – Another improved player at Hearts of Oak, who was been incredible this season. He has given Benjamin Agyare the toughest time and has always been the first choice for coach Edward Nii Odoom in their matches this season. His robotic and pivotal style of defense makes him one of the important player for Hearts of Oak.
Wahab Adams (CB) – Though he has not been in the best of his form as we used to know him of, Adams is very intelligent and a fast thinker and definitely deserve a place in the combined XI.
Justice Blay (DM) – Arguably one of the best defensive midfielders in the local football currently, his ability to win balls from his opponents and shielding the defense makes him one of the better holding midfielders in the local game.
Emmanuel Nettey (DM) – The game changer for Hearts of Oak. Nettey has been super in his last two games for the Rainbow giant and was the man of the match in their last game against Liberty Professionals where they won 2:1.
Emmanuel Gyamfi (LW) – One of the important players for Asante Kotoko. His ability to run with the ball makes him incredible and a tormentor for any opponent. When in his day, creating of chances become not a problem for the Porcupine Warriors.

Frederick Ansah Botchwey – One of the young but talented players in the Hearts of Oak set up. The midfielder since his inclusion from Liberty Professionals has been superb for the Phobians and among the players who are transformed Hearts of Oak after the poor start in league.
Augustine Okrah (RW) – Arguably one of the poster boys for Kotoko. Okrah has eyes for goals and able to take on defenders when with the ball. He needs no explanation and definitely deserve a slot in the combined XI.
Kofi Kordzi (CF)- The bulky goal poacher has been impressive for Hearts of Oak this season despite Joseph Esso’s influence in the team. Kordzi can hold on to the ball and of course has a good eye for goals.
