The quarter-finals of the FIFA World Cup get underway at 15:00 GMT, with tournament favourites Brazil in action against 2018 finalists Croatia.

Tite’s side are unchanged from the side that beat South Korea in the round of 16.

But Croatia make two changes to the side that squeaked past Japan on penalties in Matchday 4.

Budget defender Borna Sosa is available again and starts at left-back in place of Borna Barisic.

The other change sees Mario Pasalic come in for Bruno Petkovic.

MATCHDAY 5 LINE-UPS

Brazil XI: Alisson, Militao, Marquinhos, Silva, Danilo, Paqueta, Casemiro, Raphinha, Vinicius, Neymar, Richarlison.

Croatia XI: Livakovic, Juranovic, Lovren, Gvardiol, Sosa, Modric, Brozovic, Kovacic, Pasalic, Kramaric, Perisic.

  If Tite had started Fred over Neymar and I think Brazil would won this.
  
  This 442 kept getting overrun in the centre with Croatia's fantastic midfield.

    Absolutely. Fred should have been on for Paqueta (or Neymar, but realistically Paqueta) as the first move at least

    They need someone else to join attack so they can win, their full backs don’t help a lot for example Militao is not going forward and Danilo is bad at LB

      If their FBs bombed forward & stayed wide, Casemiro would have no chance. He's already overrun. You can't play only one mid who defends against Croatia

  trying to find the answer, was there a team that lost in OT without pen kicks? Then look up on earlier matchdays for a defender on that team.
