Here is how El Salvador and Argentina will line up for tonight’s international friendly.

El Salvador starting line-up: Contreras, Larín, Molina, Renderos, Mendoza, Flores, Mejivar, Cerén, Alas, Alvarez, Burgos, Bonilla

Argentina starting line-up: Guzmán; Zabaleta, Musacchio, Funes Mori, Orban; Pereyra, Banega; Di María, Lavezzi, Tévez; Higuaín.

Whilst most of Europe will be playing qualifiers for the 2016 European Championships, Argentina are in friendly action as they take on El Salvador tonight.

Gerardo Martino has won three of his first five games in charge having taken over from Alejandro Sabella after last summer’s World Cup, where Argentina reached the final, only to be beaten by Germany.

Tonight, they face El Salvador at FedEx Field, the home of the Washington Redskins, as Argentina take themselves over to America.

Martino has picked a strong side, which features Pablo Zabaleta, Angel Di Maria, Carlos Tevez and Gonzalo Higuain, whilst lesser used players like Mateo Musacchio, Ramiro Funes Mori and Lucas Orban are all handed starts.

That leaves Manchester United defender Marcos Rojo and Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero to take roles on the bench, but could appear later on if Martino wants to freshen things up.
