Coach Kwasi Appiah rested Gyan for the 1-0 defeat against Mexico but has come with all guns blazing against the American side that defeated the Black Stars at the 2014 World Cup.

MLS hotshot David Accam gets a place in the starting line up along with Rashid Sumaila and Jerry Akaminko who will shore up the defence while Mohammed Abu also gets the chance.

Mohammed Abu will partner Ebenezer Ofori at the heart of midfield with Frank Acheampong deployed at his unfavourable position of right wing.

Richard Ofori will stay in the posts for the Black Stars as they seek to defeat the Americans in their own backyard to deepen the rivalry.

Ghana starting line-up: Ofori, Sumaila, Lumor, Akaminko, Boye, Abu, Acheampong, E, Ofori, Gyan, Dwamena, Accam.
