The question on everyone's lips has got to be whether Ivory Coast's Didier Drogba, will be fit to play?

Stan Collymore will be commentating throughout the tournament on Eurosport and joins us today to discuss this prestigious event that kicks off on Sunday 20th January.

Joining Stan is leading sports broadcaster Gary Imlach who is presenting the channel's live coverage, who will be ready to tell us which players to look out for and the key group stage matches to tune in to.

As the domestic league endures the scrabbling, rumours and gossip of the January transfer window, it's time to turn our attention to Africa.

With up to 40 Premier League players leaving the domestic season to link up with their national team it promises to be one of the most exciting African Cups to date.
