Hearts will move closer to a 20th league title with victory over perennial rivals Asante Kotoko as the two biggest clubs meet in Accra for the 47th time on Sunday afternoon in the Glo Premier League.
Hearts lead the defending champions by 13 points and could extend that by three more if they recorded a double.
The Phobians stole a 2-1 win in the corresponding fixture at the Baba Yara Stadium on 8 February but Kotoko's renaissance under Herbert Addo should be a worry to Hearts.
Kotoko have won their last three league matches and have garnered some decent results during the league break in trimming the rough edges.
They last won in Accra 16 years ago after Frimpong Manso scored the only goal for the Porcupine Warriors.
But Kotoko will have to do another one without defender Samuel Inkoom whose International Transfer Certificate was received by his Swiss side FC Basel on Friday to complete his transfer.
Hearts however seems to have lost their spark during the second half of the league and will be under pressure to overhaul themselves.
In other fixtures; second-placed Heart of Lions host Chelsea of Bechem at the Kpando Park and Liberty Professionals face Kessben in Abrankese.
