Sports Mole takes an in-depth look at how Brazil could line up for Sunday's Copa America clash with Ecuador.

With the Copa America quarter-finals looming, Brazil could look to continue their squad rotation for Sunday's clash with Ecuador in the group stage, having changed their starting XI around for every game so far.

The three goalkeepers have each been given one appearance in the group stage, and Liverpool's Alisson and Manchester City's Ederson are now expected to battle for the spot for the remainder of the tournament, giving manager Tite a tough decision to make.

Meanwhile, he could opt to bring centre-back Eder Militao back into the side alongside Marquinhos, giving 36-year-old Thiago Silva a rest after two games in quick succession for the Chelsea defender.

Either side of that pair, Alex Sandro and Danilo should continue to occupy the full-back spots, having impressed so far in the tournament.

Manchester United midfielder Fred could be given a rest, having played in each of the first three games, with Fabinho expected to return to partner Casemiro in the middle.

Further forward, Neymar will continue to play a key role in their attack, having hit two goals and two assists in the Selecao's three group games so far.

There is plenty of competition for places alongside him in the front line, with Manchester City's Gabriel Jesus and Everton's Richarlison battling, while Roberto Firmino will hope that his goal off the bench last time out will be enough to earn him a start.

Brazil possible starting lineup: Alisson; Danilo, Marquinhos, Militao, Sandro; Everton, Fabinho, Casemiro, Richarlison; Neymar, Firmino
