The All Whites will again be without Chris Wood when they kick off against Peru in the second leg of their intercontinental playoff which starts in Lima at 3.15pm (NZT).

Wood will start on the bench in the Estadio Nacional, as he did in the first leg of the tie in Wellington.

Wood took to the pitch in the 74th minute at Westpac Stadium and though he made an instant impact he failed to break the deadlock.

The only two changes see injured Tommy Smith drop out for veteran defender Andrew Durante and Bill Tuiloma replacing Marco Rojas.

All Whites starting line-up:

Kosta Barbarouses
Michael Boxall
Kip Colvey
