After an impressive performance to earn a draw against Brazil in the final group game last time out, Ecuador should field an unchanged side for Sunday's Copa America quarter-final clash with Argentina.

That will see talismanic forward Enner Valencia continue to lead the line, as he looks to net his first goal of the tournament to add to his tally of 31 goals in 60 appearances for his nation.

Meanwhile, fellow forward Ayrton Preciado has netted two of their five goals so far in the tournament, and he will continue to join Valencia in the front line.

Behind them, Ecuador boast a strong midfield pairing of Brighton & Hove Albion starlet Moises Caicedo and Orlando City's Jhegson Mendez, bringing plenty of balance to the side.

They will shield the solid centre-back pairing of Piero Hincapie and Robert Arboleda, having stood strong against Brazil's dangerous front line to help their side to a crucial point in a 1-1 draw.

Full-backs Angelo Preciado and Pervis Estupinan should also continue to line up in the back four, having both featured in every minute of Ecuador's Copa America campaign so far.

Ecuador possible starting lineup: Galindez; Angelo Preciado, Hincapie, Arboleda, Estupinan; Franco, Mendez, Caicedo, Palacios; Valencia, Ayrton Preciado
