The Egyptian national team will clash on Tuesday against Algeria for Group D lead in FIFA Arab Cup in one of the most excited Arab's derbies.

Both teams booked their tickets in the quarter-final, but they are now competing on the Group's leadership to avoid facing Morocco in the last 8.

Egypt started their Arab Cup campaign with a narrow 1-0 win over Lebanon before routing nine-man Sudan 5-0, while Algeria defeated Sudan 4-0 and snatched a 2-0 win over Lebanon to share the group’s lead with the Pharaohs with six points.

When will it start?

The match will kick off at 21:00 CLT.

Egypt's team news:

The Pharaohs will enter the game without key player Mohamed Magdy "Afsha," who will be ruled out due to a light injury. The head coach Carlos Queiroz will give him a rest to be ready for the quarter final.

Algeria's team news:

The Algerian team will enter the game with their full squad as they have no injuries or suspensions.
