Chile forward Alexis Sánchez plans to make the most of home advantage as the Arsenal star plots on revenge against Brazil in Sunday’s friendly at the Emirates Stadium.

He scored Chile’s equaliser in a dramatic Round of 16 clash in Belo Horizonte, but Júlio César saved two penalties, including one from Sánchez, to seal a 3-2 win in the shoot-out. Sánchez would love to make amends by leading his country to victory over their South American rivals at the home of his current club. He was quoted in FIFA’s website: “I’m so excited and honoured to be playing for the national team of Chile, against our great rivals Brazil, in front of the incredible Arsenal fans at Emirates Stadium. I also look forward to playing against my good friend Neymar. Matches between Brazil and Chile are always exciting encounters, and for me, to play this game at Emirates Stadium will make the match even more special.”
