BURKINA FASO:
Diakite, Tall, Koulibaly, B. Kone, D. Kone, Koffi, Rouamba, Kabore, A. Traore, Pitroipa, Dagano.

It was a cagey game played under uncertain circumstances the last time these two teams met in Cabinda, Angola at the 2010 tournament. Cote D’Ivoire captain Didier Drogba had famously exclaimed that the Burkina Faso team packed 10 men at the back as their opening group game ended goalless.
This time around, the Elephants have already tasted victory in their first match against Sudan with the Chelsea forward gettingthe lone goal with a header. The Stallions, on the other hand, lost their opening encounter 2-1 to Angola due in a big part to poor defending.
Paulo Duarte’s men know that another loss in this game will see his team exit the tournament, another first round implosion that will hardly do their country’s image any good after “school boy errors” in theiropening game, according to the trainer.
To remain in the competition, the Stallions will need to tighten their defence against the marauding Ivorian attack that consists of highly rated Drogba and Chelsea team-mate Salomon Kalou as well as Arsenal’s Gervinho. The Burkinabe have their work cut out for them having already lost midfielder Abdou Razak Traore due to passport problems.
Though the Elephants might have played below par in their opening game against Sudan, they will surely look to get betteras the competition progresses and Francois Zahoui’s men will present a tough challenge for their west African neighbours.

Angola began their 2012 Africa Cup of Nations campaign with a hard fought 2-1 victory over west Africans Burkina Faso thanks to goals from Mateus andManucho, so they will be feeling confident that those three points have put them in a comfortable position in Group B.
The Palancas Negras want to make up for their painful quarter-final finish at the 2010 edition, which they hosted. Lito Vidigal wants his stars to go beyond their best quarter-final finishes in the 2008 and 2010 editions. Angola have...
The Sudanese come into this game with a 1-0 loss against Cote d'Ivoire under their belt, but the east Africans can take solace from the fact that they played a solid and determined defensive game against the tournament favourites, and may have been unlucky not to come away from the match with more than a narrow loss.
Unlike the other teams at this tournament, Sudan are the only ones drawing players exclusivelyfrom their domestic league as they look to replicate the form that saw their team progress to the semi-finals of the 2011 Africa Championship of Nations (Chan), which they hosted last January.

MANCHESTER CITY:
Hart, Richards, Savic, Lescott, Clichy, Milner, Barry, Silva, Aguero, Nasri, Dzeko.

Jay Spearing is unlikely to return from injury for Liverpool, meaning Charlie Adam should continue alongside Steven Gerrard and Jordan Henderson in midfield. Stewart Downing and Dirk Kuyt are also in contention for two of the three forward spots in the starting XI, although expect Kenny Dalglish to stick with Andy Carroll, Craig Bellamy and Maxi despite Saturday's defeat to Bolton.
City have until 6pm on Wednesday evening to appeal the FA charge against Mario Balotelli for violent conduct, however, the league-leaders are expected to accept the four-game ban meaning the Italian will not be available for the trip to Anfield.
Edin Dzeko is therefore likely to start up top, backed up by an impressive attacking line of Samir Nasri, David Silva and Sergio Aguero. Stefan Savic is setto continue alongside Joleon Lescott in defence, with captain Vincent Kompany sitting out the final game of his ban.

Senegal, touted as tournament favourites, suffered the heaviest shock on matchday one after a 2-1 defeat against Zambia. That was a psychological blow bearing in mind their second game is against co-hosts Equatorial Guinea.
The Teranga Lions need a win atall costs against the Nzalang Nacional to keep their Africa Cupof Nations dreams alive, or else asurprise exit is imminent if othergroup results go against them.
The co-hosts have nothing to lose but will be hoping their home support will be as vibrant as in their opening match. Having kicked off their first-ever Nations Cup game against Libya, it will come as no surprise if theyare able to neutralise the star-studded attacking set up of the roaring Lions, whose defence appears to be one of the weakest in the tournament.
A win for the co-hosts gives them the upper hand to reach the knockout stage and a similarresult could position the west Africans well in the tournament.

The Mediterranean Knights’ first appearance at an Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) since 2006 didn’t go according to plan on Saturday. Despite starting relatively well against co-hosts Equatorial Guinea, Libya lost their composure and struggled mightily to create chances until after Javier Balboa’s sublime finish on 87 minutes.
Now it will be up to coach Marcos Paqueta to find a solution to his team’s attacking troubles, specifically how to get his imposing centre-forward, Ahmed Zuway, more involved.
It will be an uphill task against a Zambian side that completely changed the complexion of the group by stunning Senegal with two quick first-half goals before resisting the Teranga Lions’ offensive armada.
Needless to say, Libya don’t haveas much going forward as the west African do and the service to Zuway will need to be much more precise against the organised and often ruthless Chipolopolo.
In his post-match press conference, Herve Renard was quick to point out that Emmanuel Mayuka and Rainford Kalaba’s goals were a direct translation of his strategy to playballs in behind Senegal’s tall and athletic defence. The Libyans won’t pose the same physical challenge but, on their day, the north Africans could cause problems for a Zambian side that they faced in qualifying.

Mali were involved in one of the most dramatic matches at the last tournament in Angola when they came back from 4-0 down with 15 minutes left to draw with the hosts in the opening match. They have since been working to rebuild their squad with the arrival of Frenchman Alain Giresse as coach.
A younger squad has been built by Giresse around Barcelona starSeydou Keita, who is now 30 years old. The Malians will be without influential midfielder Mahamadou Diarra of Monaco, who did not make the trip to Gabon and Equatorial Guinea. Mali have also announced the call-ups of Ousmane Berthe and Souleymane Keita to their Afcon squad following injuries to midfielder Kalilou Traore and defender Mohamed Fofana.
The Eagles will be hoping to win their first game of this tournament against their neighbours if they are to do better than their last showing where they crashed out in the first round, albeit with one of the most impressive midfield talents in all of the continent.
Guinea will go into this game with the confidence of having stopped giants Nigeria from qualifying for the tournament in a tough group duel last year. Having missed out on the 2010 edition, the Syli Nationale will be looking to make it to the last eight and match their previous feats of 2004-2008.
Anything short of the quarter finals will be seen as failure on the side of Michel Dussuyer’s men who have the influential midfielder Pascal Feindouno andstriker Ismael Bangoura in his side. They will also be able to count on the support of their minister of sport, former Liverpool forward Aboubacar Titi Camara who has been a force of inspiration for the team.Guinea have been hit with the loss of Kevin Constant, however, as the player decided to pull out of the squad ahead of the tournament for reasons that are not entirely clear.

If the last two editions of the Africa Cup of Nations are anything to go by, then it is safe to say the 2012 tournament is Ghana’s to lose.
The west Africans have improved game after game with each passing tournament, and sustaining such performances inGabon and Equatorial Guinea could lead them to the ultimate prize. Ghana came third in 2008;second in 2010 and the absenceof giants such as Egypt, Nigeria and Cameroon has convinced several pundits that the Black Stars are in for gold this time around.
Their opening game is against debutants Botswana – a lowly-placed side, but with a danger-man who scored five out of theirseven goals during the qualifying campaign to come second on the overall top scorers’ chart.
The four-time African championshave no injury worries as key striker Asamoah Gyan has recovered in time to be a probable starter. However, one of their influential defenders Isaac Vorsah will miss the opening game due to a suspension.
The southern Africans’ Joel Mogorosi of Township Rollers will miss the tournament and Botswana Defence Force XI defender Mompathi Thuma has injury worries. Their star player Dipsy Selolwane of SuperSport United is serving a suspension and cannot play in the opening game.

After missing out on the 2010 edition of the Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon), Morocco are outto prove to the continent, and perhaps even themselves, that the days of underachieving are truly behind them. With Eric Gerets at the helm, the Atlas Lions were, for the most part, outstanding in the qualifiers. Furthermore, they will be adequately prepared for their Tunisian opponents as they had to oust Algeria to get to Gabon and Equatorial Guinea.
Morocco prepared with a Spain-based training camp that featured a 3-1 comeback win over Grasshopper Zurich and a goalless draw against another Swiss side, Basel. The team looksto be in good shape but Gerets hasn’t been spared injury concerns as the influential Oussama Assaidi has tendinitis in his achilles tendon that may keep him out of the first game, and possibly longer than that.
Facing the Lions are Tunisians who struggled mightily in qualifying due to a combination of political upheaval, injuries, and coaching changes. Despite barely making it, the Carthage Eagles will surely benefit from having a team composed of six representatives from African club champions Esperance. Furthermore, coach Sami Trabelsi and many of the players at his disposal were victorious atthe 2011 Africa Championship ofNations (Chan).
In terms of injuries, Issam Jemaais carrying a hamstring pull that will almost surely prevent him from taking part in this encounter. In addition, Trabelsi will be unable to use his preferred left-back, Khalil Chammam, who is suspended for this encounter due to yellow card accumulation.
