The Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) is set for a blockbuster clash as the league leaders, Enyimba, take their unbeaten run to Lagos to face a determined Ikorodu City on Sunday.
The highly anticipated Week 6 encounter at the Mobolaji Arena will test the resolve of the People's Elephant against the resilient Oga Boys who are looking to protect their impressive home record.

Managed by Stanley Eguma and under the leadership chairman and Nigerian football icon Nwankwo Kanu, Enyimba have had a solid start to the season, going five matches without a loss and sitting atop the NPFL table.
Their confidence is palpable, with the club's official social media account even posting a cheeky message: "Next for the People's Elephant is a trip to Eko City for a dance with Ikorodu."
However, Ikorodu City will not be a pushover, especially on their home turf. The team, affectionately known as theOga Boys, have a strong home record this season, a factor they will lean on to recover from a heavy away defeat to Niger Tornadoes in their last outing.
They'll also be motivated by memories of their last meeting with Enyimba at the Mobolaji Arena, a dramatic 2-2 draw where they snatched a point with a late, last-gasp goal.
This match is more than just three points; it's a clash of different dynamics. Enyimba's tactical discipline and winning momentum will be put to the ultimate test against Ikorodu's home-ground tenacity and desire to prove they belong among the league's top teams.
For fans in Lagos, this is a must-watch encounter that could have significant implications for the top of the league standings.
