England will look to secure the top spot in their UEFA Nations League group campaign when they travel to Madrid to face Spain.
The Three Lions qualified for the quarter-finals after their 2-1 win against Croatia at Wembley but are still three points behind group leaders Spain, who won 2-0 away at the Czech Republic.
A win is the only way England can take top spot, and group winners are seeded for the quarter-final draw and play the second leg at home, while runners-up play the first leg at home.

Spain team news
Lamine Yamal missed the win over the Czech Republic with knee pain, although Luis de la Fuente has since revealed that he is in “perfect condition” to start and play 90 minutes.
He will come in for Yeremy Pino on the right wing, while Mikel Oyarzabal could replace Ferran Torres through the middle after recovering from an illness.
Aymeric Laporte, Nico Williams and back-up goalkeeper Alvaro Valles also missed the Czech Republic game due to illness, but should be in the matchday squad against England.
Dean Huijsen replaced Laporte at centre-back, while Alex Baena started on the left wing and scored the opening goal from the penalty spot.
Arsenal midfielder Martin Zubimendi is expected to keep his place in the starting line-up as Rodri is currently sidelined with a hamstring injury.
England team news
Tuchel has alternated between Jordan Pickford and James Trafford throughout this Nations League campaign, picking the former in the last three games and the latter in the previous two.
The manager has confirmed that Pickford remains the first-choice goalkeeper, but has also hinted that Trafford could start between the sticks here.
Myles Lewis-Skelly is available after serving a one-match ban, while fellow Arsenal defender Ezri Konsa is back in contention after missing the Croatia game with a knee injury.
If Konsa is ready to start, the centre-back could replace Jarell Quansah, who was at fault for Croatia’s equaliser at Wembley.
Djed Spence is set to rejoin team training after missing the Croatia game, and he is hoping to make his first international appearance since the World Cup.
Trent Alexander-Arnold started against Croatia and plays his club football in Madrid, but Tuchel may look for a more defensive option at right-back.
Declan Rice and Elliot Anderson are expected to continue in midfield and the front four should also be unchanged, with Harry Kane leading the line ahead of Jude Bellingham, Morgan Rogers and Anthony Gordon.
Spain vs England odds
Having won all five of their games in Nations League A Group 3, Spain are 3/4 favourites to make it 18 points out of 18.
England are 7/2 to get the win that will also secure top spot, while The Draw is 10/3.
In the outright Nations League betting, Spain lead the market at 2/1 ahead of 4/1 France, 9/2 England and 6/1 Portugal.
Spain vs England prediction
The last two Nations League games between these two sides have seen the away side win by a 3-2 scoreline, with Spain coming out on top at Wembley in September and England winning at the Benito Villamarin Stadium in 2018.
England were winning 2-1 at half-time at Wembley, but Kane missed a penalty before goals from Baena and Oyarzabal gave the visitors all three points.
The Three Lions have since won the following four games by an aggregate score of 14-1, and we expect them to score against a Spain side that has kept just one clean sheet in this Nations League campaign.
But Spain’s victory in the Czech Republic extended their winning run to 12 games, while they are 43 games unbeaten in all competitions.
Yamal and Oyarzabal should also be available, and we’re leaning towards a Spain win and Both Teams to Score at 9/4.
The last four games between these sides have been decided by a one-goal margin, so we’re also backing Spain to win by one goal at 11/4.
A 2-1 win for the hosts is available at 15/2.
Yamal is set to return to the starting line-up, and he has registered a direct goal involvement in both of his games against England. He is 4/5 to score or assist.
The Barcelona winger scored inside the opening two minutes at Wembley, and he is 6/1 to be the first goalscorer.
Oyarzabal came off the bench to score the winning goal against England in the Euro 2024 final and repeated the trick in the Nations League clash at Wembley.
He’s 7/4 to score anytime, and 11/2 to be the last goalscorer.
Kane is currently the top scorer in the 2026/27 Nations League with seven goals, and he is 19/10 to find the back of the net.
Bellingham has five assists from four starts in this Nations League campaign and is 5/1 to set up a goal in Madrid.
