League leaders Ahli will be looking to cement their position on top of the table when they entertain lowly Asyut Petroleum on Wednesday. Unbeaten in five games, Ahli face a relatively easy test against the newcomers, who are one of two sides without a win in the league. A victory is a must for Hossam Al-Badri's team amid pressure from Petrojet, Ismaili and most importantly ENPPI. Buoyant with their continental success, ENPPI can jump to top spot if they amassed nine points from their three games in hand. Diaa Al-Sayed's team will face Police Union in Cairo. Team News Ahli are boosted by the return of classy playmaker Mohamed Abou-Treika from injury, following a three-week layoff. Another frontman to return from injury is Mohamed Fadl, who has been struggling with a thigh problem since joining Ahli in the summer. However, Mohamed Barakat has been ruled out with an ankle injury, while Liberian forward Francis Doe is suspended after being sent off at Masri. Striker Emad Meteb is still unfit after more than five months out with a knee injury. Elsewhere, Harras Hodoud host Mansoura in Alexandria and Gouna take on Ittihad in Aswan.
