Super Eagles gaffer Stephen Keshi has named his starting eleven for the eagerly anticipated World Cup qualifying match against Malawi in Calabar in a few minutes time.

As expected, stand in skipper Vincent Enyeama is preferred in goal ahead of Austin Ejide of Hapoel Be'er Sheva .

Celtic utility man Efe Ambrose will man the right full back position while Uwa Echiejile starts at left full back.

The central defenders to provide cover for Enyeama are Godfrey Oboabona and Azubuike Egwuekwe.

In midfield, coach Stephen Keshi has opted for Chelsea star John Obi Mikel, Lazio's Eddy Onazi and Liverpool newcomer Victor Moses.

African Cup of Nations top scorer Emmanuel Emenike, Ahmed Musa and Nnamdi Oduamadi will lead the charge for goals.
