Afcon final: Senegal predicted XI - Mane in attack, Koulibaly the rock at the back

Africa Cup of Nations Qualification

Burundi

Mendy, who has conceded just two goals in the competition, will be targeting another clean sheet to stand a chance of being crowned Afcon's best keeper.

Goalkeeper: Edouard Mendy

The Nancy&nbsp;full-back&nbsp;is expected to retain his position after impressive displays in the previous outings.

Left-back - Saliou Ciss

The 30-year-old defender will be expected to marshall Senegal's backline and try to keep the Burkina Faso attackers at bay. His impact in the attack cannot be overlooked considering the fact that he assisted Abdou Diallo in the win over Burkina Faso.

Centre-back - Kalidou Koulibaly 

The 25-year-old PSG star will partner&nbsp;Koulibaly&nbsp;at the back. He will be also be needed to help in attack especially during set pieces as seen against the Stallions.

Centre-back - Abdou-Lakhad Diallo

The&nbsp;Bayern Munich full-back, Senegal's designated free-kick taker, is expected to complete the same back four for the fourth straight game.

Right-back - Bouna Sarr

The PSG defensive midfielder is expected to command and anchor the midfield on Sunday.

Midfielder - Idrissa Gueye

In a rather defensive approach, Mendy is expected to be deployed alongside Gueye&nbsp;as the&nbsp;Teranga Lions take on the unpredictable Pharaohs at Olembe Stadium in&nbsp;Yaounde.

Midfielder - Nampalys Mendy

Kouyate was impressive against the Burkinabes alonside Gueye and Mendy and is once again expected to start ahead of Pape&nbsp;Gueye.

Midfielder - Cheikhou Kouyate

The Liverpool star assisted and scored in the semis. His form on the material day will be vital for the Teranga Lions.

Forward - Sadio Mane

Diedhiou had a good work rate and played a vital role when selected. Although Bamba Dieng replaced him and went ahead to score in the semis, Diedhiou is expected to keep his place.

Striker: Famara Diedhiou

The Marseille forward&nbsp;should start ahead of&nbsp;Ismaila Sarr owing to his chemistry with the fellow attackers.

Forward - Bamba Mbacke Dieng
