Team news & rosters
| Position | Senegal roster |
|---|---|
| Goalkeepers | Dieng, E. Mendy, Gomis, Badara Faty |
| Defenders | Ciss, Koulibaly, Cisse, Ballo-Toure, Seck, B. Sarr, Mbaye, A. Diallo |
| Midfielders | I. Gueye, N. Mendy, Kouyate, Lopy, P. Sarr, Name, Loum, P. Gueye |
Forwards | Balde, Dia, Mane, H. Diallo, Dieng, I. Sarr, Diedhiou, Thiam |
Twice involved on both of the occasions when Senegal snapped up the silver medal position, coach Aliou Cisse knows what it means to lose at the final hurdle, as both a player and a manager.
With a squad headlined by Sadio Mane, and with Burkina Faso dispatched in comfortable fashion to a point, he'll hope that it can be third time lucky for the Lions of Teranga, as they look to win their first major trophy in the nation's footballing history.
Predicted Senegal starting XI: E Mendy; Sarr, Koulibaly, A Diallo, Ciss; Kouyate, N Mendy, I Gueye; Mane, Dieng, Dia.
| Position | Egypt roster |
|---|---|
| Goalkeepers | El Shenawy, Abou Gabal, Sobhy, Gad |
| Defenders | Abdelmonem, Kamal, Hegazi, Ashraf, El Fotouh, Hamdy, Alaa, Tawfik, Dawoud |
| Midfielders | El Solia, Fathy, Trezeguet, Ashour, Sobhi, Elneny, Lasheen, El Said, Sayed |
| Forwards | Sherif, Salah, Mohamed, Marmoush, Adel, Hamdy |
Having needed penalties to get the better of Cameroon in the last four, Egypt sit on the cusp of adding to their historic haul of Afcon crowns - but there will be no nerves for Carlos Queiroz and company.
With Mohamed Salah arguably the form player in the world right now, they have a superb weapon to carve open their opponents - and they'll be out to write a little history of their own too.
Predicted Egypt starting XI: Sobhy; Kamal, Trezeguet, Hamdi, Fatouh; Ashraf, El-Sulya, Elneny; Mohamed, Marmoush, Salah.
