Switzerland v Ecuador (17:00 BST)
Djourou has been given the nod ahead of Basel's Fabian Schar as Hitzfeld looks to counter the threat of former Manchester City striker Felipe Caicedo, Ecuador's seven-goal top scorer in qualifying.
Switzerland boss Ottmar Hitzfeld has made arguably his largest call in central defence, where Hamburg's former Arsenal centre-back Johan Djourou starts.
Alexander Dominguez, who has recovered from a broken finger, starts in lieu of Maximo Banguera, in the only change to the side that began the recent friendly against England in Miami.
Midfielder Cristhian Noboa has overcome a muscle injury to make the Ecuador line-up for coach Reinaldo Rueda, whose main choice dilemma was in objective.
