Na­tion­al care­tak­er coach Derek King has opt­ed to start for­ward Kevon "Show­time" Wood­ley and Isa­iah Lee up front, while Kevin Moli­no is one of 11 sub­sti­tutes in the T&T's quest for maxi­mum points in Thurs­day’s CON­CA­CAF Na­tions League Group B en­counter against Cu­ba at the Es­ta­dio An­to­nio Maceo in San­ti­a­go, Cu­ba, at 4 pm, by in­struct­ing his play­ers to die for their coun­try. 

The So­ca War­riors will aim to eke out three points against a team that it have do­main­taed over the years. Over­all against Cu­ba T&T won 12, with four match­es drawn and nine de­feats.

This is first of two meet­ings, with the re­turn match set for Mon­day at the Dwight Yorke Sta­di­um to com­plete the four-match Swiss play­off for­mat, which will send the top two teams through to the next round.

The So­ca War­riors have just one point from two match­es, cour­tesy of a loss to Hon­duras 4-0 and a goal­less tie with French Guiana, while the Cubans have two from drawn match­es against Nicaragua (1-1) and Ja­maica (0-0). These re­sults mean that both will have to win the com­ing two match­es.
