The Africa Cup of Nations begins in earnest on Monday, with four fixtures taking place in Group B and Group C, all of which are exclusively live on Sky Sports, following Sunday’s Group A openers.
Much of the focus will fall on Senegal, one of the favourites to win the tournament, as they take on Zimbabwe in the first game of the day. The Lions of Teranga are out for their first AFCON crown having finished runners-up in Egypt in 2019.
Senegal have been hit by a Covid-19 outbreak, with Chelsea goalkeeper Edouard Mendy and key defender Kalidou Koulibaly the latest to test positive, but their side will still feature a heavy Premier League representation, led by Liverpool’s Sadio Mane.
Guinea take on Malawi in the other Group B fixture, while there is also the prospect of an exciting Group C meeting between Morocco and Ghana, who are looking to win the competition for the first time since 1976 and 1982 respectively
