Team News
Having made six changes to his starting line up against the Czech Republic, Luis de la Fuente is expected to welcome back some of his big guns.
The likes of Lamine Yamal, Rodri, Pedri and Marc Pubill are likely to be handed starts, while Unai Simon is set to get the nod in goal ahead of David Raya.
England played their strongest possible line-up against Croatia and Thomas Tuchal could start with the same XI in Madrid.
One potential change could be in the centre of defence, with Jarrad Branthwaite and Ben White pushing for an opportunity.
Need to Know
England have scored in six of their last seven meetings against Spain and have found the net in each of their last 11 internationals.
Spain are now unbeaten in 43 matches and the World Cup holders have not been beaten at home for over four years.
Prediction
September’s reverse fixture at Wembley was a classic, with Spain running out 3-2 victors, and goals are expected again with top spot up for grabs.
England will hope to take advantage of the hosts’ likely changes, with some of their big-name stars set to return having sat out Thursday’s win in Prague.
Attack looks to be the best form of defence for the Three Lions who, without Marc Guehi and Ezri Konsa, look vulnerable at the back.
Jude Bellingham added another assist to his name in midweek — it is now 14 goals and 19 assists in his 61 caps — and at the home of Real’s rivals Atletico, the England star will want to make a big impression.
It is also worth noting that Spain have given away more fouls and picked up more yellow cards than their opponents in this Nations League campaign.
