Germany boss Joachim Low has opted against making any changes to his team for tonight's World Cup clash with Ghana in Fortaleza.
The Germans kicked off their Group G campaign in style by thumping Portugal 4-0 on Monday, and Low has stuck to a winning formula by naming an identical starting lineup.
Mats Hummels, whose participation was doubted after picking up a groin injury, shakes off the complaint to partner Per Mertesacker in the heart of defence.
Thomas Muller, who scored a hat-trick in the thrashing of Portugal, also retains his selection, with Mesut Ozil and Mario Gotze among those in close support of the Bayern Munich man.
Meanwhile, Kevin-Prince Boateng comes into the first XI for Ghana and is poised to face his half-brother, Jerome Boateng.
The Schalke 04 midfielder started on the bench for their 2-1 defeat to the USA in the Group G opener earlier in the week, but has made the starting lineup this evening to provide an intriguing subplot to tonight's spectacle.
Germany: Neuer; Boateng, Mertesacker, Hummels, Howedes; Lahm, Khedira; Kroos, Ozil, Gotze, Muller
Ghana: Dauda; Mensah, Boye, Asamoah, Atsu; KP Boateng, Rabiu, Muntari, Afful; Andre Ayew; Gyan
