ARG RIVALS How Brazil and Argentina could line-up with no Premier League players but PSG duo Messi and Neymar still involved

BRAZIL and Argentina will renew their historic football rivalry on September 5 when they face off in a World Cup qualifier in Sao Paulo.

It will be the first time the two sides have met since Lionel Messi's men edged out Neymar and Co to lift the Copa America in July.

Speaking of new Paris Saint-Germain teammates Messi and Neymar, the pair are set to come up against one another next month when their two countries do battle once more.

But there is a good chance there could be NO Premier League stars starting for either side as some players look to take a well-earned rest.

The likes of Aston Villa keeper Dani Martinez, Tottenham pair Giovani Lo Celso and Cristian Romero, Manchester United's Fred, Chelsea's Thiago Silva and Manchester City No1 Ederson all featured in the Copa America for their nations.

They then had just a couple of weeks off before returning to pre-season training with their clubs in England.

Meanwhile, Everton striker Richarlison had virtually no rest whatsoever throughout the summer.

The Brazilian forward started five of his country's seven games in their run to the final of the Copa America.

And then less than two weeks later he jetted off to Tokyo as a part of Brazil's Olympic Games squad.

This time he was successful in winning the tournament as Brazil retained the Olympic title they claimed for the first time in Rio five years earlier.

Richarlison was also the top men's scorer at the Games with five goals.

Then just six days after winning the gold medal he returned to start Everton's opening game of the Premier League season, scoring in a 3-1 win over Southampton.

So, with all that in mind, you imagine the 24-year-old has earned himself a little rest.

Brazil currently top the South American World Cup qualifying table having won all six of their matches so far.

Meanwhile, Argentina are second in the standings on 12 points following three victories and three draws.
