England are hosting Brazil at Wembley Stadium this evening, and it’s always a special occasion when the Brazilian superstars come up against the Three Lions.
England are without the likes of Bukayo Saka and Harry Kane for the contest. While Brazil have a star studded attack of Vinicius Jr and Rodrygo, and it was the former who very nearly opened the scoring for the visitors.

11 minutes into the contest and the fifth best nation in the world, Brazil, almost took an early lead against the third best nation. Thankfully, the pace of Kyle Walker bailed England out. Unfortunately though, the Manchester City right-back had to be substituted moments after because of an injury.
