Player to watch – Arturo Vidal
Arturo Vidal missed Chile’s chastening 4-0 loss to Colombia in October, though the veteran midfielder returns to the fold this weekend and his experience could be key in Lima.

Vidal has seen it all before
Vidal turned 37 at the start of the summer and having represented his country a massive 142 times already, the midfielder is the most-capped player in the current Chile squad. Vidal, who plays his club football with Colo-Colo still has enough quality to shine on Saturday.
