Manchester City duo Sergio Aguero and Pablo Zabaleta are in the Argentina squad while West Bromwich Albion's Gonzalo Jara and Wigan Athletic’s Jean Beausejour started for Chile in Friday’s 3-1 defeat by Ecuador.

CONCACAF
Clint Dempsey and Tim Howard will be aiming to put the United States in the next stage of qualifying when they take on Guatemala in Kansas City.
The USA, with 10 points from five matches, need one point from the final contest to progress from Group A. If their match does not end in a draw, Jamaica could sneak through.
Manchester United’s Javier Hernandez is expected to feature for Mexico as they take on El Salvador. The Mexicans are leading Group B by eight points and have made it through to the next round.
Costa Rica, who have Fulham's Bryan Ruiz and Everton's Bryan Oviedo in their squad, will guarantee themselves a place in the final round if they overcome winless Guyana at home. Ruiz is 50-50 to play after withdrawing with a groin injury during the previous match.
In a closely fought Group C, two teams from Panama, Canada and Honduras will make it through.
Stoke City's Wilson Palacios and Wigan Athletic's Maynor Figueroa will feature for Honduras as they host the Canadians in San Pedro Sula.

FRIENDLIES
Manchester United midfielder Shinji Kagawa will be in action on Tuesday as Japan take on 2014 hosts Brazil in Poland.
Kagawa scored the winner against France on Friday and the 23-year-old has urged his side to maintain their form ahead of the FIFA 2014 World Cup qualifying tie against Oman on 14 November.
"Brazil are a stronger team than France so it should be a real challenge," said Kagawa. "We've said we want to reach the quarter-finals of the next World Cup.
"In that case we have got two years to improve in a lot of areas, and we need to learn to play with more confidence. We are capable of playing a lot better."
Chelsea midfielder Oscar and team-mates Ramires and David Luiz were in the Brazil side that beat Iraq 6-0 in Sweden on Friday, with Oscar scoring the first two goals.
