The number one side in the world will host reigning European champions Spain in a much anticipated match. Both sides come into this match in good form having won all of their last five matches in all competitions.
Spain were against England in a match they won by a comfortable 2-0 score line. Their playing style has come under fire especially after their shortcomings at the World Cup held in Brazil last year. However manager Vicente del Bosque has defended La Roja's passing game and insisted that his side will continue to adopt the same method regardless of the formation deployed.
"The style will be the same no matter what formation we use, that's what we try to do - have our own style of play," the former Real Madrid boss said.
"It is a result of prestige against a powerful and strong team, which constantly threatened us."
The manager also had words of praise for a few of his players especially right back Gaspar as well under pressure Chelsea striker Diego Costa and Barcelona target Nolito.
"We are very pleased with Nolito and Mario, who has scored in two games," Del Bosque said. "They have done well, there have been superb.
"Diego Costa has worked well at the level of the team. England is a strong and powerful team."
Del Bosque further confirmed that Man United number one David De Gea is poised to start between the posts in the match against Belgium with Iker Casillas to be rested. He further played down the fitness concerns surrounding Thiago Alcantara who was withdrawn in the first half in the match against England.
"Thiago was removed as a precaution," he added. "Tomorrow [Saturday] he will be tested to see how he is."
Spain won nine of their 10 matches in the Euro Qualification campaign but face quite a stiff challenge now in the form of the number one side Belgium.
The Red Devils continued their good form with a 3-1 win over Italy last time out. Tottenham defender Jan Vertonghen opened the proceedings for Marc Wilmots' men followed by goals from Kevin De Bruyne and Michy Batshuayi.
