The match is underway

14:50 Both sides are lining up for the national anthems.

14:20 Bradley switches back to his favourite 4-2-3-1 formation. Zamalek's Ahmed Gaafar will spearhead the attack, playing in front of attacking midfielders Mohamed Abou-Treika, Ahmed Eid and Mohamed Salah.

14:00 Egypt's starting line-up: Sherif Ekramy, Ahmed Fathi, Wael Gomaa, Ahmed Hegazy, Ahmed Shedid, Hossam Ashour, Amr El-Sulaya, Mohamed Abou-Treika, Ahmed Eid, Mohamed Salah, Ahmed Gaafar.

13:45 Egypt coach Bob Bradley has earned plaudits after helping the Pharaohs collect maximum 12 points from their opening four matches in Group G.

13:30 It remains to be seen whether Egypt coach Bob Bradley will stick to the three-man defence he deployed against Zimbabwe despite some errors by Ahmed Hegazy and Mahmoud Fathallah which helped the hosts score two goals last week.

13:00 A win would lift Egypt to the last qualifying round with one game to spare in the group. A draw coupled with a Guinea failure to overcome Zimbabwe later on Sunday would also see the Pharaohs advance.

12:45 Egypt beat Mozambique with the same 2-0 scoreline in four meetings between both sides.

12:30 Mohamed Abou-Treika impressed in last week's 4-2 victory at Zimbabwe via his trademark precise passes, scoring a goal and setting up Mohamed Salah for a treble.

A win for Egypt in Sunday's away game to Mozambique will be enough to lift them to the final round of the World Cup qualifiers with one match remaining.

Egypt's likely line-up:

Sherif Ekramy, Ahmed Hegazy, Mahmoud Fathallah, Wael Gomaa, Ahmed Shedid, Ahmed Fathi, Ibrahim Salah, Mohamed El-Neny, Mohamed Salah, Mohamed Abou-Treika, Ahmed Hassan Mekki
