| PROBABLE LINEUPS |
|
ENGLAND
 Hart Johnson, Cahill, Jagielka, Cole Wilshere, Gerrard Walcott, Cleverley, Milner Rooney |
BRAZIL  Cesar Alves, Miranda, Dante, Adriano Ramires, Oscar, Paulinho Lucas Moura, Ronaldinho Neymar |
Forwards Jermain Defoe (ankle) and Daniel Sturridge (thigh) are out of contention for England, with Theo Walcott or Danny Welbeck likely to push for a place alongside Wayne Rooney in attack.
Michael Carrick (hip) has also been ruled out of the squad, meaning Jack Wilshere may make his long-awaited return to the starting XI after featuring as a substitute against Sweden in November.
Ashley Cole is in line to receive his 100th international cap if he is selected ahead of the in-form Leighton Baines, while Gareth Barry misses out despite his fine performances for Manchester City.
Real Madrid forward Kaka has missed the cut for Brazil, but Luis Fabiano and Ronaldinho have both been included by Luiz Felipe Scolari, as well as QPR goalkeeper Julio Cesar.
Chelsea defender David Luiz is set to miss out on the game as he is suffering from a calf strain.
