On Friday's Sportuccino we look ahead to the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations being held in Gabon. The opening game features the hosts against Guinea-Bissau on Saturday. The event was originally meant to be held in Libya.

Reigning champions Ivory Coast head into the tournament without the retired Yaya Toure but still have Premier League stars such as Wilfried Zaha and Wilfried Bony.

The record winners Egypt also return to the competition after a seven year absence.

We discuss all this and more with sports broadcaster Oluwashina Okeleji on Sportuccino.

Also on Friday, host Richard Parr previews a huge weekend in the English Premier League with games coming up such as Leicester v Chelsea and Manchester United v Liverpool.
