England defender Gary Cahill has revealed that he is hopeful his side can repeat their recent success against Brazil at the weekend.

England recorded a 2-1 success over Brazil at Wembley in February, and while Cahill acknowledges that it will be tougher away from home, he believes that the team are capable of putting in a good performance.

The 27-year-old told reporters: "It is one to look forward to. We have got a big flight now and then a couple of days training. We played really well against them at Wembley a couple of months ago.

"We know the task ahead is going to be hard. They are playing at home so it is going to be tough for us. But, like I said, we played some good stuff against them at home and hopefully we can put in a good performance."

The Chelsea defender featured in England's defence as they were held to a 1-1 draw by Republic of Ireland on Wednesday night.
