Kanu set for clash of the titans
Nwankwo Kanu says he is feeling confident ahead of the most anticipated clash of the tournament between Ivory Coast and Nigeria.
"Our spirits are high and we can win in Ghana, as long as we have a bit of luck," said the Portsmouth striker.
This will be the fifth time the two nations have met in the cup with Nigeria having won the last two matches.
Premiership star's such as Drogba, Kanu, Toure, Eboue and Yakubu will be on show for the early evening clash.
There is only one injury doubt for Nigeria and thats Sunderland midfielder Dickson Etuhu.
Drogba has recovered from a knee injury and should partner Racing Lens' Aruna Dindane.
Arsenal defender Kolo Toure will feature along with Spurs Didier Zakora and brother of Kolo Toure Yaya Toure.
In fact there are 14 players from the English Premier League taking part in the match so watch out for Chelsea team-mate Drogba and Mikel Jon Obi going head-to-head and the possibility of both sides fielding all Premier League forward lines.
