England will be looking to leapfrog Spain and finish top of their Nations League group when they travel to Madrid this evening.
Thomas Tuchel’s side have already secured qualification for next year’s quarter-finals, but will be determined to get revenge for their 3-2 defeat to the world champions at Wembley in September.
The Three Lions have responded to that setback by winning four consecutive matches, including an impressive 7-0 win away to Croatia last month.
England followed that result with a 2-1 win over the same opponents at Wembley on Thursday, with Morgan Rogers opening the scoring before Harry Kane converted a second-half penalty.
It was a memorable evening for Kane, who became England’s most-capped men’s player with his 126th appearance, moving clear of Peter Shilton.
Spain, meanwhile, have enjoyed a perfect Nations League campaign so far, winning all five matches to sit three points clear at the top of Group A3.
Luis de la Fuente’s side maintained that record with a 2-0 win away to Czechia on Thursday, as Alex Baena and Marc Pubill found the net.
The reigning world and European champions are now unbeaten in 42 matches across all competitions, a remarkable run stretching back to March 2024.
Spain need only a draw to secure top spot, while England must win to move above their opponents on goal difference.
