Six weeks have passed since Mané slotted home the winning penalty in the final of the Africa Cup of Nations, denying Salah a spot-kick in the process. Senegal were without doubt worthy winners, and the Pharaohs will be ruing their luck that they've been drawn against them.

Carlos Queiroz's ultra-defensive tactics may have got Egypt to a final, but they also neutralised the threat of Salah, arguably the best footballer on the planet. A cruel injury meant he was nowhere near full fitness when he played in the last World Cup, and now aged 29, he'll be desperate to feature in the tournament while still at the peak of his powers.

However, Aliou Cissé's Lions of Teranga are armed with both star power and a coherent playing style. Mané is Senegal's main goal threat and joint-top scorer, but they've also got an outstanding spine, comprising Edouard Mendy, Kalidou Koulibaly and Idrissa Gueye.

Will Egypt show some bravery at home? Read on to find out how to watch an Egypt vs Senegal live stream from anywhere in the world.
