Mohamed Salah vs Sadio Mane - Pick your AFCON winner as Liverpool duo prepare for final showdown

The Africa Cup of Nations final is fast-approaching.

Naby Keita, Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane jetted off to Cameroon at the start of January to participate in the tournament, with two of this Reds trio still in with a chance of tasting glory.

Keita was knocked out at the Round of 16 stage with Guinea, though both Mane and Salah will battle it out on Sunday for silverware.

Senegal are the favourites to come out on top when the sides meet this weekend, though Egypt have proven throughout the tournament that they're more than capable of causing an upset.

The Pharaohs have got the better of Ivory Coast, Morocco and Cameroon on their way to the final, three sides who were considered strong favourites for AFCON success.

Liverpool supporters will be faced with the unusual dilemma of not knowing which side to support when Egypt and Senegal face off on Sunday, as one of Mane and Salah prepares for a heartbreaking end to the competition.

Mane will have hopes of avoiding a repeat of the 2019 AFCON final, which saw Algeria lift the trophy at his country's expense, meanwhile Salah can further boost his hopes of claiming next year's Ballon d'Or should his nation prevail as winners.

We want to know who you would like to see crowned champions on Sunday, which you can decide by voting in our special AFCON survey below.
