China host Palestine at the Dalian Barracuda Bay Football Stadium in Dalian on Tuesday (June 20) in a friendly.
The Dragon's Team are coming off a stunning 4-0 win over Palestine in another friendly on Friday. Zhang Linpeng opened the scoring in the 29th minute before Lin Liangming doubled their advantage six minutes later. Wu Lei added two more goals for China in the final 15 minutes as Myanmar were dealt a hammering.
Manager Aleksandar Jankovic will be content with his side's performance but could make a few changes to give other players a chance. Wang Ziming could come into the XI in place of Elkeson, while Liu Dianzou is gunning to start in goal.
