England vs Brazil live score, result, updates, stats, lineups from Wembley international friendly

Gareth Southgate's England side take on Brazil on Saturday, March 23, at Wembley in an international friendly.

Two footballing giants come head to head in front of a sell-out crowd at the home of football. While it's not a competitive fixture, players on both sides are competing to prove their worth ahead of the European Championship and Copa America tournaments, both of which are this summer.

Southgate has selected a squad that includes 18-year-old Kobbie Mainoo. The Man United midfielder only made his Premier League debut earlier in the season but oozes class on the ball and will not look out of place. He was originally left out of the squad, but seemingly Southgate watched his spectacular performance against Liverpool in the FA Cup quarterfinals and rewarded him with his first England call-up. 

Brazil are without Alisson, the Liverpool goalkeeper who is still recovering from injury. However, they will have Real Madrid's Vinicius Jr and Rodrygo in attack.
