Ivory Coast face Algeria in a must win game for the reigning champions in the Africa Cup of Nations

Gradel with a trademark silky run into the box but he slips before he can put a cross in.

Victor Gomes looks to make his mark on games apparently and gets quite animated.

Djamel Belmadi's side have a freekick after a shove in the back by Deli around 25 yards from goal. Mahrez's low strike is straight into the wall.

KICK OFF: Algeria get us underway in Cameroon.

Five minutes until kickoff!

Algeria came into this year's tournament as the reigning champions and the favourites. But they need to be at their best today after a 0-0 draw with Sierra Leone and a shock 1-0 loss to Equatorial Guinea.

The other game in Group E sees 3rd-placed Sierra Leone face 2nd-placed Equatorial Guinea at 16.00 GMT.

Patrice Beaumelle's side are guaranteed a place in the knockout stages but know a win today will secure top spot in Group E - and a tasty clash with Egypt on Wednesday.

CRUNCH TIME:

Algeria are currently bottom of the group with one point and have not scored a goal in their 2 AFCON games.

Ivory Coast are top of the group with 4 points. So Algeria need a win to qualify and hope other results go their way.
