Mohamed Salah will hope to inspire more Africa Cup of Nations magic as his Egypt side take on Senegal for a place in the tournament’s final.

The Pharaohs sent defending champions Ivory Coast packing in the quarter-finals, with Salah getting on the scoring again as his goal proved decisive in a five-goal thriller in Agadir.

They take on the Teranga Lions, who arguably had the easiest quarter-final assignment of the eight as they dispatched Mali in convincing fashion.

The winner of the tie will set up a finale clash with either host nation Morocco or free-scoring Nigeria in Sunday’s final in Rabat.

Here’s everything you need to know.

When is Senegal vs Egypt?

Senegal’s clash with Egypt in the Africa Cup of Nations semi-finals kicks off at 5pm GMT at the Stade Ibn-Batouta in Tangier, Morocco.

How can I watch it?

Confirmed line-ups

Senegal XI: Mendy, Diatta, Koulibaly, Niakhate, Diouf, Gana Gueye, P. Gueye, Diarra, Ndiaye, Jackson, Mane.
