Egypt faces Ivory Coast in the final African Cup of Nations quarter-finals on Saturday, knowing that Senegal awaits the winner for a place in the final.
It will be a meeting between two heavyweights of continental football in Agadir, with the most successful team in the competition (Egypt) facing the current title holder (Ivory Coast) with a place in the last four up for grabs.
Both teams have made fairly light work of their journey to this point in the round of 16. Mohamed Salah and co. finished top of their group after picking up two wins and a draw, before beating Benin 3-1 in the round of 16.
Ivory Coast, meanwhile, had an identical record in the group stage and beat Burkina Faso 3-0 to get there.
Read on to see how the two teams line up for what promises to be an exciting showdown.
