Match Preview :

England will welcome the visit of five-time World Cup winners Brazil in an international friendly at Wembley Stadium as part of the celebrations to mark 150 years of the

Football Association. England have managed to persuade Brazil, who is no doubt a household name to mark the special occasion to pay them a visit. Although it is a friendly,both sides will be looking to use it as an opportunity to see how they fare against each other ahead of the 2014 World Cup - which is to be held in Brazil.

This match will be held at Wembley, which is also where a certain England full back will reach a landmark of games. Chelsea defender Ashley Cole will win his 100th cap for his country should he start this match as was stated by Hodgson. His past experience will be useful against a visiting side that has been in good form lately as Luiz Felipe

Brazil have won six of their last eight games and scored 25 goals along the way. For the record, England have won just three of their 23 previous internationals against Brazil, drawing nine and losing 11.

Team News :

England Team News :
England coach Roy Hodgson has to make a decision on his side's formation ahead of the clash with Manchester United duo Wayne Rooney and Danny Welbeck the only two recognised strikers available at his disposal. It is possible that Theo Walcott will be moved into attack having played for Arsenal in that position this season, with Tottenham's Jermain Defoe (ankle) and Liverpool's Daniel Sturridge (thigh) having been ruled out through injury.

Meanwhile, Michael Carrick (hip) has also been forced to withdraw from the side while Hodgson has assured his Manchester United colleagues that they will be offered rest time ahead of crucial club games as they will face Everton as well as Real Madrid in the Champions League. Liverpool talisman Steven Gerrard will once again captain the side, as he earns his 101st cap, while Tottenham winger Aaron Lennon will hope to be involved at some stage after winning a recall and Everton midfielder Leon Osman will be eager to avoid featuring just once for England.

Brazil Team News :
Brazil will check on the fitness of David Luiz before naming their starting eleven tonight. The Chelsea defender has been announced as the team's captain by the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) but continues to nurse a calf complaint and may not be risked. His Stamford Bridge team-mates Oscar and Ramires may provide Premier League experience at Wembley, while Queens Park Rangers goalkeeper Julio Cesar has been recalled back into the side after several impressive performances for the side.

Another famous name to have been handed a recall by Luiz Felipe Scolari is Ronaldinho, with the former World in his homeland for Atletico Mineiro - having been brought into the fold after 12 months not playing for Brazil. Meanwhile ex-Sevilla striker Luis Fabiano who now plays for Sao Paolo, is also back in the side again again after a spell out of favour, but there was place in the Brazil squad for Real Madrid playmaker Kaka or Manchester United full-back Rafael.
