18:23, Malik OuziaThe other game in this group has finished and it turned into an absolute thriller, with Sierra Leone snatching a 2-2 draw in stoppage time after Ivory Coast looked to have won it through Arsenal winger Nicolas Pepe. That really does have a significant impact on the shape of this group, with Algeria now having chance to move level on points with Ivory Coast at the top, while Sierra Leone will have a huge opportunity to qualify if they beat Equatorial Guinea in their final game.

18:53, Malik OuziaRight then, the teams will soon be on their way out at the Japoma Stadium. A massive game coming up in which the defending champions really need to show an improved performance. 18:37, Malik OuziaPerhaps the most significant bit of news from that Algeria lineup is that AC Milan midfielder Ismael Bennacer comes straight back into the side. Bennacer was suspended for the opening game as a result of the number of yellow cards he racked up in qualifying and the Algerians really lacked control in the middle of the park in his absence, particularly during the first half against Sierra Leone.
