Spain vs England - UEFA Nations League performance prior to this match
Spain tops Group A4 in the UEFA Nations League, having won six points out of six. One more win against England would see them through to the next stage. England has only won one point, product of their most recent game against Croatia. In the event of a loss, The Three Lions would be in serious jeopardy of being relegated to League B if Croatia beats Spain or themselves in their final group matches.
Spain and England's current form ahead of this game
La Roja knows nothing but victory since Luis Enrique's arrival. The Spanish team has won all three games with the former Barcelona skipper at the helm, scoring twelve goals and allowing only two. Their most recent game ended with a 4-1 win over Wales.
The post-World Cup era for England has not started properly for Southgate's men, since they have only been able to win one game out of their most recent three. England lost against Spain (2-1) and went on to beat Switzerland (1-0). Their last game ended in a goalless draw against Croatia, which forces the English side to try and scratch at least one point out of their trip to Spain.
