Senegal take on Tunisia in the Africa Cup of Nations semi-finals on Sunday, as they look to reach their first final since 2002.

Quotes

Aliou Cisse: Tunisia is a very special team and very strong. They possess special skills and their players and their players are capable of creating the difference. However, we are in the semi-finals since 2002 and this motivates us to win. We've improved a lot and I start my team.
