Two Nigerian internationals John Mikel Obi and Odion Ighalo will clash today as Changchun Yatai host Tianjin Teda in the Chinese Super League clash.
Interestingly, a similar scenario was witnessed in the English Premier League during the week when Leicester City hosted Arsenal at the King Power Stadium with Kelechi Iheanacho also on target smiling home with a 3-1 win over Alex Iwobi, who fired blank on the night.
Tomorrow, the Super Eagles captain, Mikel with only a goal in the kitty this season from nine matches has however, through his Twitter handle promised Ighalo a ‘tough’ game.
Ighalo, who has netted seven goals in nine league games this season, believes Yatai that are placed 13th position with 11 points would carry the day.
“You won’t get this close to me at the weekend @ighalojude!
“Haha skippo you going to congratulate me after the game. Good luck tomorrow,” Ighalo who scored six of his seven goals for Yatai in his last two games equally tweeted.
Meanwhile, Tianjin Teda occupy the ninth position with 12 points in the 16-team league table.
