The team news for the Group D game between Nigeria and Iceland has just been announced.
The match kicks off at 4pm at the Volgograd Arena in Russia.
After fellow group members Argentina were destroyed by Croatia yesterday, ears have pricked up and now Iceland and Nigeria can try and take full-advantage.
Super Eagles coach Gert Rohr has rung in the changes from the top-down following Nigeria’s own defeat to Croatia.
Leicester City’s Kelechi Iheanacho starts up-front instead of former Watford forward Odion Ighalo in a more attacking line-up as Nigeria try and grab the vital three.
Arsenal's Alex Iwobi has been surprisingly dropped.
Rohr retains faith with the young goalkeeper Francis Uzoho.
In the centre of midfield, Nigeria vice-captain Onazi Ogenyi still doesn't come into the team, doing nothing to dispel rumours of a rift with skipper John Obi-Mikel.
For Iceland, Johann Berg Gudmundsson hasn't recovered from the muscle injury he suffered in the draw against Argentina in the opening game. Rúrik Gíslason, who came on as his substitute, takes his place on the right of midfield.
Gylfi Sigurdsson lines up in the centre of midfield behind Alfred Finnbogason and Jon Dadi Bodvarsson. The Everton playmaker remains Iceland’s main-threat.
Emil Halfredsson is the man to make way for Bodvarsson as Iceland play two up-front.
Nigeria XI: Francis Uzoho - Kenneth Omeruo - William Troost-Ekong - Leon Balogun - Bryan Idowu - Victor Moses - John Obi-Mikel Wilfred Ndidi - Ahmed Musa - Oghenekaro Etebo - Kelechi Iheanacho
Iceland XI: Hannes Halldorsson - Hordur Magnusson - Ragnar Sigurdsson - Kari Arnason - Birkir Saevarsson - Aron Gunnarsson - Theodor Bjarnason - Rurik Gislason - Gylfi Sigurdsson - Alfred Finnbogason
