Luiz Felipe Scolari makes one change to his Brazil side for the hosts' second game of the tournament against Mexico, replacing Hulk with Ramires.

Luiz Felipe Scolari has made one change to his Brazil side for the hosts' second game of the tournament against Mexico in Fortaleza this evening.

Hulk has dropped to the bench and been replaced by Ramires, with Scolari seemingly going with a new 4-3-3 formation.

Hulk has been struggling with an injury and even though he declared himself fit, has been removed from the lineup.

Both sides won their opening games and Mexico will look to cause a shock to go top of Group A.

Miguel Herrera has gone with the same side that edged past Cameroon, with Javier Hernandez still on the bench.

Brazil: Julio Cesar; Dani Alves, Thiago Silva, David Luiz, Marcelo; Paulinho, Ramires, Luiz Gustavo; Oscar, Fred, Neymar
