FIFA World Cup 2022 in Qatar LIVE: Brazil v Switzerland updates as Vinicius Jnr has goal ruled out, a win will send Brazil to knockout stages

Xhaka lines up a central free-kick 35 yards out, but instead of either going for goal or delivering the ball in the box, he plays a short pass before Switzerland are forced backward.

Fred finds Paqueta in the middle of the pitch and he flicks the ball on beyond the Switzerland defence as Richarlison has an opportunity to stretch his legs for the first time. It's well covered by Nico Elvedi.

Brazil are very casual in their approach to this game, almost walking at times with the ball as they look to find path through the Swiss midfield.

Manuel Akanji, Granit Xhaka and Silvan Widmer link up well down Switzerland's right side to pass their way out of any potential danger in their defensive third.

He looks to pass the ball out to his defence, but it's very casual and his effort is cut out by Ruben Vargas. Switzerland win a corner after a sloppy couple of minutes from the Brazilians, but it's a poor one and comes to nothing.

Brazil have a free-kick in a very promising position down the left wing.

The Swiss - in all red - shooting from right to left, get the game underway!

We're edging closer to kick-off, which is just five minutes away!

Neymar is not involved as expected after sustaining an ankle injury and he's been replaced by Fred. It looks like Brazil are going for a 4-3-3 formation today rather than the 4-2-3-1 they used against Serbia, where Neymar was playing in the number 10 role. His replacement Fred drops into a midfield three alongside Casemiro and Lucas Paqueta, with Raphinha, Richarlison and Vinicius leading the attack.

Eder Militao comes in for Danilo at right back in Brazil's only other change.

The forward has been replaced by 20-year-old Fabian Rieder who is set to earn his first start for Switzerland after making his debut four days ago against Cameroon.
