France have made six changes from their 1-0 win against Sweden in November ahead of this evening's friendly against Brazil at the Stade de France.

Layvin Kurzawa, Eliaquim Mangala, Paul Pogba, Josuha Guilavogui, Andre-Pierre Gignac and Dimitri Payet were involved in the Marseille friendly, but are omitted from Didier Deschamps's starting XI today.

Karim Benzema is named as Les Bleus' captain and leads the attack with support coming from Antoine Griezmann and Mathieu Valbuena, while Moussa Sissoko, Morgan Schneiderlin and Blaise Matuidi line up in a midfield trio.

Mamadou Sakho and Raphael Varane are this evening's centre-backs with Patrice Evra and Bacary Sagna either side of them at full-back, and Steve Mandanda takes over in goal from injured goalkeeper - and regular captain - Hugo Lloris.

Brazil have made four changes as the five-time World Cup winners welcome former captain Thiago Silva back into their defence following his recent absence, in place of the injured David Luiz.

Miranda joins him in the back four, while Neymar starts up front with the likes of Willian, Oscar and Roberto Firmino supporting him in the attack.

France: Mandanda, Evra, Sakho, Varane, Sagna, Matuidi, Schneiderlin, Sissoko, Griezmann, Valbuena, Benzema

Brazil: Jefferson, Danilo, Thiago Silva, Miranda, Filipe Luis, Luiz Gustavo, Elias, Willian, Oscar, Firmino, Neymar
