Manchester United's last summer signing Eric Bailly and Paris Saint-Germain's Serge Aurier are the two high-profile names in the Elephants' back four. In addition to this, they have Crystal PalaceWilfried Zaha to lead their attack.

DR Congo started the African Cup of Nations on a brighter note with a 1-0 win over Morocco. Their 27-year-old forward Junior Kabananga's goal that was the difference between the two sides in the end.

Florent Ibenge will be looking for revenge when his side take on Ivory Coast on Friday. DR Congo were eliminated from the 2015 Afcon by the Elephants in the semi-final and went on to win the tournament.
