England National Football Team Vs Brazil National Football Team Lineups

Gareth Southgate will look to England to deliver on their Euro 2024 hopes with an emphatic performance against Brazil on Thursday evening, hoping that his side can end their recent run of near misses and break their own streak of nearly-misses.

Endrick scores an amazing goal to secure victory for Brazil at Wembley Stadium, becoming its youngest male goalscorer ever at this venue. At only 17-years-old he becomes Brazil’s youngest male scorer at Wembley ever!

England XI

After their disappointing 2-1 loss against the Netherlands, England will look to rebound against Brazil in their friendly. Gareth Southgate will have his work cut out for him; but his players should remain confident they can put in an impressive performance under him. This provides them with the chance to experiment with some new tactics and see if they can create chances and score goals.

Jordan Pickford should start and play all 90 minutes. He should be supported by a strong back four, comprised of John Stones, Kyle Walker and Harry Maguire. Ezri Konsa should partner Stones at centre-back while Kieran Trippier could fill in as left back due to Luke Shaw’s injury.

Southgate should opt for an aggressive strategy in this match and should make full use of his bench talent. Anthony Gordon should make his senior debut, joining Ivan Toney and Ollie Watkins upfront; James Maddison and Phil Foden can add extra creativity.

Brazil XI

Gareth Southgate remains unbeaten at Wembley since becoming England manager, and his side can potentially dominate Brazil at home friendlies under Fernando Diniz. Brazil have lost three consecutive internationals under Diniz and currently sit near the bottom of their 10-team South American qualifying group.

Ederson should make his return as Edisson is out with a hamstring injury. Manchester City midfielder Danilo should retain his place; Eder Militao and Juve defender Bremer have both been left out due to injuries.

Igor Jesus could continue as Bayern Munich striker despite admitting racism issues have hindered his motivation to play football in Spain. He should be joined up front by Raphinha and Vinicius Junior who should all start. Additionally, Savinho, Rodrygo, and Endrick could be rested ahead of England’s visit.

England Goalkeeper

Gareth Southgate has shown his faith in Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford as his first-choice goalkeeper for Euro 2024 campaign. Pickford led all English goalkeepers in terms of clean sheets this season while helping Everton concede the fewest goals outside of top four league.

Ederson will serve as Brazil’s second-choice goalkeeper in the absence of Alisson Becker due to a hamstring injury, whom was not included in their squad due to being out. Although not as accomplished, Ederson can provide valuable backup for an Selecao team lacking depth at back due to Eder Militao, Bremer and Lucas Paqueta being unavailable.

Marc Guehi’s inclusion is another indicator that England has found stability after an uncertain start to their season. Guehi enjoys a close bond with John Stones and remains one of the more underrated players in Premier League. Ezri Konsa and Jude Bellingham from Aston Villa midfield round off an already versatile squad while Ivan Toney’s direct style earned recognition following an outstanding campaign for Crystal Palace.

Brazil Goalkeeper

England have some injury concerns ahead of this friendly, but are hopeful that Harry Kane, Kieran Trippier and Luke Shaw will return from any injuries sustained during this match in time to face Belgium next week. Manchester City goalkeeper Ederson and Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson have both withdrawn due to personal reasons while Caoimhin Kelleher along with uncapped Anthony Gordon and Jude Bellingham will deputise respectively for them in goalkeeping duties.

Brazilian talent makes this matchup an excellent chance for England to test themselves against some of the world’s best players, while it will likely end in victory for England.

Gareth Southgate’s side can still boast a strong defensive unit even without two of their first-choice stoppers, Danilo and Juventus’ Bremer and Beraldo providing expert backline cover. Meanwhile, Casemiro’s absence paves the way for Aston Villa defender Douglas Luiz to partner Bruno Guimaraes in midfield while Lucas Paqueta could prove instrumental for their hosts.

England Defenders

Gareth Southgate has handed two players their debut call-ups: Everton centre-back Jarrad Branthwaite and Newcastle United forward Anthony Gordon were both part of Lee Carsley’s Under-21 side that won European Championship last summer and both have since seen significant improvement in their prospects.

Manchester City defender John Stones returns for this double-header at Wembley Stadium connected by EE, while Liverpool defender Joe Gomez makes his Wembley Stadium comeback due to injury. Unfortunately winger Kieran Trippier and goalkeeper Trent Alexander-Arnold will both miss due to being unavailable.

The Three Lions must improve their defensive record if they hope to advance to the quarter finals at Euro 2024, and Brazil will provide an ideal test of their capabilities. Both teams are keen to shake off years of near misses and reclaim top status within world soccer – follow live coverage, match report and highlights from this crucial friendly on Saturday at 7pm GMT before watching England take on Belgium and Iceland as international friendlies lead up to Euros at end June – both teams being favorites to win this tournament.

Brazil Defenders

Brazil boasts a proud legacy of footballing excellence and currently possess an outstanding squad filled with talent and flair. Looking ahead to Euro 2024, their players are ready to step into the limelight and take centre stage.

Pickford will need to be at his best against Brazil’s attackers, while Walker, Stones, Maguire, and Chilwell must come together as an effective defensive unit. Rice and Foden should play key roles midfield – one stymying Brazil attacks while the other providing creative sparks.

Gareth Southgate will likely employ new tactics in this game and players such as Sterling, Rashford and Palmer should cause havoc against Brazil’s defense. Unfortunately for Southgate though, his midfield will be missing Kieran Trippier, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Jack Grealish as well as West Ham midfielder James Ward-Prowse and Liverpool winger Kalvin Phillips due to injury – so Manchester United prodigy Kobbie Mainoo could make her debut alongside Ezri Konsa in central midfield alongside Anthony Gordon, Everton winger Jarrad Branthwaite and Newcastle’s Jude Bellingham!

England Midfielders

Marouane Fellaini and Jesse Lingard could start for England in this pivotal Nations League clash against Brazil. Ederson will continue in goal as Alisson has not recovered from his hamstring injury yet. Lucas Paqueta and Gerson could form central midfield partnerships alongside Igor Jesus or Estevao Willian if further creative solutions are required by Brazil.

Interim England manager Lee Carsley will select from an elite pool of young players for England’s two November Nations League matches against Greece and Malta. Carsley made headlines when he left out Jordan Henderson from his initial squad and awarded call-ups to five uncapped players, but has also left out key defenders Harry Maguire and Marcus Rashford from consideration.

Dominic Solanke will look to add another international appearance for Tottenham Hotspur after making two impressive starts for his new club Liverpool. Solanke could feature on either left wing alongside Ollie Watkins or in central attack and may face competition from West Ham United’s Lucas Paqueta and Newcastle United’s Bruno Guimaraes.

Brazil Midfielders

After participating at the 2014 World Cup, England are set for their inaugural ever match against Brazil. England have been drawn into an extremely difficult group with Ireland and Greece; interim manager Lee Carsley has placed his trust in young stars from Manchester City such as Taylor Harwood-Bellis and Lewis Hall; England youth stars Morgan Rogers, Noni Madueke and Jude Bellingham have also been called up into their squad.

Maia, one of Brazil’s most promising young players, has made his mark this season at Sao Paulo first team and could become a key figure on national side. Not the fastest defender but excelling at covering ground and passing in defence are some of his hallmark qualities.

Nottingham Forest’s Nottingham defender is an invaluable commodity in Brazilian football, as big European clubs look for teenage talents who can make an immediate impactful statement. An able defender who covers lots of ground quickly with both feet, Nottingham has made quite an impressionful mark at Nottingham.
