The Netherlands and Ecuador are bidding to make it two wins from their opening two matches at the 2022 World Cup when they meet at Khalifa International Stadium on Friday.

Kick-off is at 16:00 GMT.

Memphis Depay is being brought along slowly by Louis van Gaal after recovering from injury and is once again named on the bench.

However, there are three changes from Matchday 1, as Jurrien Timber, Teun Koopmeiners and Davy Klaassen come in for Matthijs de Ligt, Steven Berghuis and Vincent Janssen.

Denzel Dumfries, meanwhile, begins at right wing-back.

As for Ecuador, Matchday 1 hero Enner Valencia was forced off in the 75th minute after scoring twice against Qatar but is fit to start.

Elsewhere, Jackson Porozo replaces Romario Ibarra, which suggests Ecuador will line up in a back three/five formation, rather than the 4-4-2 they used in the opener.

MATCHDAY 2 LINE-UPS

Netherlands XI: Noppert, Timber, van Dijk, Ake, Dumfries, Koopmeiners, de Jong, Blind, Klaassen, Gakpo, Bergwijn

Ecuador XI: Galindez, Preciado, Porozo, Torres, Hincapie, Estupinan, Plata, Mendez, Caicedo, Valencia, Estrada

USA, USA, Throw that tea away!

I got 1 point for my Gueye!
However, is there 2 Klaassens for Holland? Transferred in today, and I just have a dash for him!!

  I got the wrong Gueye lol. Did not know there was two. Better stay away from the Korea team!
  There is only 1 Klaassens, so no idea why you see a dash. He did not get a YC...everything is weird on the Fifa site.
