Nations League: probable lineups for Spain vs England clash
Spain and England face off in the Nations League this Sunday. Who will start? We have an idea of the likely starting lineups.
The two Group A giants meet on Sunday evening. Spain host England in the Nations League in Madrid at Atlético's stadium. Just a few days ago, Spain cruised to a 2-0 win in the Czech Republic, while England comfortably beat Croatia 2-1 at Wembley.
Tonight's clash at the Metropolitano Stadium could be considered the group final.
La Roja in front
Spain currently top the group with a perfect record: five wins in five matches, 14 goals scored and five conceded. England are close behind, three points adrift. However, a change of fortunes in Spain is entirely possible. Spain would lose top spot if they conceded even a single goal. With both teams then on 15 points, Spain would inevitably be at a disadvantage, whether on head-to-head record or goal difference.
Probable lineups
Here are the probable lineups for the Spain vs England match:
Spain: Unai Simón; Porro, Cubarsí, Huijsen, Cucurella; Zubimendi, Fabián Ruiz; Yamal, Fermín López, Baena; Oyarzabal.
England: Pickford; Alexander-Arnold, Konsa, Burn, Hall; Anderson, Rice; Rogers, Bellingham, Gordon; Harry Kane
