Emerging Netherlands forward Memphis Depay earned his first start of the World Cup in the quarter-final against Costa Rica in Salvador on Saturday.

PSV Eindhoven's Depay, a second-half substitute against Australia, Chile and Mexico, was picked alongside seasoned stars Arjen Robben and Robin van Persie in the Dutch attack.

Bruno Martins Indi also got a start in defence as coach Louis van Gaal grapples with the loss of midfield enforcer Nigel de Jong to injury.

Georginio Wijnaldum, Wesley Sneijder and Daley Blind were picked in midfield with veteran forward Dirk Kuyt likely to reprise his new role as left back.

For Costa Rica, Johnny Acosta comes into a rejigged defence after Oscar Duarte was suspended over a red card and Roy Miller missed out with injury.

Arsenal loanee Joel Campbell will lead the attack as Costa Rica, in their first World Cup quarter-final, look to spring a big upset against the 2010 finalists.
