Brentford will also have their Nigerian export Frank Onyeka in action as he faces his second Premier League season after a topsy-turvy debut campaign.

In other involvements, Alex Iwobi will slug it out against Chelsea at Goodison Park as he hopes to begin the season in the same vein or even a better one than he started with.

Other fixtures involving Super Eagles players and Super Eagles-eligible players have Ebere Eze and Michael Olise’s Crystal Palace against Arsenal.

Tosin Adarabioyo’s Fulham will face Liverpool while Dominic Solanke’s Bournemouth will face Carney and Caleb Chukwuemeka’s Aston Villa.
