Canada lineup vs. Uruguay: Predicted XI for Copa America third-place playoff

In-demand striker to remain up front? Predicted Canada lineup vs. Uruguay

Canada head coach Jesse Marsch is unlikely to make wholesale changes for Sunday's Copa America third-place playoff against Uruguay at the Bank of America Stadium in North Carolina.

The Reds came up short in the semi-finals as they suffered a 2-0 defeat to reigning champions Argentina on Tuesday, but Marsch will be keen to see his side go out on a high and secure third place.

In-demand striker Jonathan David and 73-cap Cyle Larin could therefore retain their places up front; the attacking duo are Canada's top-two all-time leading goalscorers, with Larin having netted 29 times for his country and David scoring 27.

Marsch is expected to stick with a flat 4-4-2 formation, with Richie Laryea and Jacob Shaffelburg set to occupy the flanks. Shaffelburg was handed a start last time out in the absence of Tajon Buchanan, who is sidelined after undergoing surgery for a broken tibia.

Ismael Kone and Stephen Eustaquio both started in centre-midfield against Argentina and could continue their partnership on Sunday, although both Jonathan Osorio and Samuel Piette will be looking to force their way into the first XI.

The same can be said about Kamal Miller who will be pushing to start in central defence ahead of Derek Cornelius, while Bayern Munich's Alphonso Davies is set to continue at left-back as Celtic's Alistair Johnston plays on the right.

Canada possible starting lineup: Crepeau; Johnston, Bombito, Miller, Davies; Laryea, Osorio, Eustaquio, Shaffelburg; David, Larin
