Liaoning is currently on a three-game winless slide with their last match ending in a 1-2 defeat to third-running team Shanghai Greenland Shenhua at the Hongkou Stadium on Aug. 20 before the one-week international break, Xinhuanet reported.

Head coach Ma Lin's squad actually scored the first goal of the match at the 28th minute with a strike from Australian defender Michael Thwaite off an assist by fellow full back Zheng Tao.

However, the hosts managed to equalize two minutes before halftime with a goal from team captain Giovanni Moreno from a cross by midfielder Qin Sheng.

Shenhua grabbed the lead with 10 minutes left before full time via an Obafemi Martins goal to snatch the win and three points away from the visitors.

Meanwhile, Hangzhou Greentown was able to hold down defending champions Guangzhou Evergrande Taobao to a goalless draw in their most recent China top flight fixture held at the Tianhe Stadium also on Aug. 20, as per Football Australia.

It was the second consecutive unbeaten performance for manager Hong Myung-bo's side and also the third undefeated game in four outings for the Green Giants.

The team will take that momentum as they meet the struggling Whowin XI this weekend.

Liaoning Whowin starting lineup (4-4-2 formation): Shi; Zheng, Yang, Thwaite, Liu; Vidosic, Zhang, Sun, Jin; Chamanga, Ujah
