Brazil and Japan lock-horns in an intriguing World Cup last 32 tie in Houston this evening.
South American powerhouse Brazil secured top spot in the their group at the expense of Morocco by virtue of a greater goal difference, whilst Japan are into the knockout rounds after finishing runners-up in Group F behind Sweden.
Unsurprisingly, Carlo Ancelotti has opted to name an unchanged side from the one that brushed Scotland a side so comprehensively last time out.
Raphina remains unavailable as he nurses an injury, meaning Bournemouth man Rayan continues to deputise in his absence.
Hajime Moriyasu meanwhile has made four alterations to his side as he attempts to claim the scalp of Brazil for a second time, having led his nation to a famous 3-2 friendly victory against them last October.
In come Junya Ito, Kaishu Sano, Shogo Taniguchi and former Arsenal defender Takehiro Tomiyasu, with Ayumu Seko, Ko Itakura, Ao Tanaka and Yukinari Sugawara dropping to the bench.
Brazil XI
Alisson; Danilo, Marquinhos, Gabriel, Santos; Casemiro, Guimaraes, Paqueta; Vinicius Jr, Cunha, Rayan
Japan XI
Suzuki; Tomiyasu, Taniguchi, H. Ito; Doan, Sano, Kamada, Nakamura; J. Ito, Maeda; Ueda
