Preview: Brazil vs. Chile

Brazil head into Sunday's friendly with South American rivals Chile on the back of seven successive victories since last summer's World Cup.

The host nation struggled throughout the finals before being thrashed 7-1 by Germany in the last four, leading to coach Luiz Felipe Scolari being replaced by Dunga, who returned for a second stint in charge.

The former Brazil skipper's impressive record was extended on Thursday evening when his side came from behind to secure a 3-1 victory over France in Paris.

However, mass changes could take place for the fixture at the Emirates Stadium, with Gabriel Paulista and Fabinho both expected to make their debuts for the national team.

The trio of Robinho, Luiz Adriano and Douglas Costa could be preferred in attack ahead of Neymar, who may be limited to a late appearance from the substitutes' bench.

In sharp contrast to Sunday's opponents, Chile head into the match having suffered a surprise 2-0 defeat at the hands of Iran in Austria.

That setback was a second in three games for Jorge Sampaoli's men, and he is unlikely to spend much time in deciding to bring back some of his big guns for the contest in North London.

Alexis Sanchez could start on his home ground, while Gary Medel, Mauricio Isla, Arturo Vidal and David Pizarro should also come into the starting lineup.

The two nations last met at the World Cup in June, with Brazil prevailing on penalties after the game had ended 1-1 after 120 minutes.
