Afriyie Acquah, Kwame Opoku, Emmanuel Gyasi and Caleb Ekuban make way for Andre Ayew, Thomas Partey, Osman Bukari and Jordan Ayew.
Captain Andre Ayew, Vice-captain Thomas Partey and Crystal Palace forward Jordan Ayew get to start on Sunday after missing the penultimate match against South Africa on Thursday.
The trio couldn’t make the trip to the rainbow nation due to travel restrictions.
Also, Belgium based forward, Osman Bukari, who made a second-half appearance on Thursday has been given a starting role.
Razak Abalora retains his place in post for Ghana with Benson Annan, Baba Abdul Rahman, Ismail Ganiyu and Nicholas Opoku making the backline.
In midfield, Thomas Partey will play with Mubarak Wakaso while Mohammed Kudus and Osman Bukari operate on the wings with Andre Ayew playing through the middle behind his brother Jordan Ayew.
The Black Stars have qualified for a record ninth straight Africa Cup of Nations tournament but aim to finish the qualifiers on a high on Sunday.
The game is scheduled for 4 pm kick-off at the Accra Sports Stadium.
