PROBABLE LINEUPS
COTE D'IVOIRE:
Barry, Lolo, K. Toure, Bamba, Tiene, Gosso, Y. Toure, Tiote, Kalou, Drogba, Gervinho.
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.

PROBABLE LINEUPS
ANGOLA:
Carlos Zuela, Dany, Mingo Bile, Andre Macanga Dédé, Gilberto, Miguel Quiame, Mateus Djalma, Manucho.

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.

PROBABLE LINE-UPS
LIVERPOOL:
Reina, Johnson, Skrtel, Agger, Enrique, Gerrard, Adam, Henderson, Rodriguez, Carroll, Bellamy.
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.

Odds: 1/4 : 0
