Ebusua Dwarfs are geared up towards putting an end to their recent unwanted home form as they tackle struggling Liberty Professionals on Sunday.

The Mysterious Club have not won in any of their last three Premiership matches at the Cape Coast Stadium.

They are also winless in their last four league games at both home and away.
On Sunday, the Crabs will have to beat the Scientific Soccer Lads to avoid moving to the 13th place on the log as relegation fight beckons.

Captain and talisman Nicholas Gyan is out of the game as he is working on a move to Tanzanian side Simba SC.

Solomon Gyesi is also ruled out of Sunday's encounter with an injury.

Liberty Professionals on other hand need to prevent a defeat on Sunday to hand them high hopes of survival.

The Scientific Soccer Lads are lying 13th position with only one point ahead of the drop zone once the league table.

Failure to avoid a loss in the weekend's fixture will see them move straight into the danger zone.

11th will be their position on the league table should they manage to beat the Mysterious Club on the weekend at Cape Coast.

They welcome back striker Bernard Kwame Arthur whilst making the journey to the Central region.
