England can snatch top spot in Nations League Group A3 with a victory over Spain at the Metropolitano Stadium in Madrid tonight, with the match broadcast live and free-to-air on ITV.
Spain, the reigning world and European champions, currently hold a three-point advantage at the summit of the group after their 2-0 away win over the 10-man Czech Republic on Thursday, extending their unbeaten run, active since March 2024, to 43 games.
England's Path to Top Spot
England's superior goal difference means a win at the home of Atletico Madrid would see them take first place in dramatic fashion, potentially securing an easier quarter-final tie in March, with the draw set to be made in Switzerland on Friday.
The Three Lions have already guaranteed a place in the last eight with a match to spare, but will need to improve on a laboured 2-1 victory over Croatia at Wembley, which came just over a month after the same opponents were beaten 7-0 in Rijeka.
That night at Wembley was memorable for Harry Kane, who became his country's most-capped men's player of all time, moving clear of Peter Shilton with his 126th senior appearance, and paraded his newly-won Ballon d'Or trophy to the home crowd.
Key Players and Recent Meeting
Lamine Yamal is expected to be eager to prove why he should have won the Ballon d'Or in London last month instead, having been declared fit to play by Spain head coach Luis de la Fuente after missing the victory in Prague with a knee injury.
September's meeting between the two sides was a thriller, with England coming back from Yamal's early effort following a Marc Guehi error to lead 2-1 at half-time through goals from Anthony Gordon and Kane, who then missed a penalty awarded after a VAR check for a foul on Jude Bellingham by Rodri.
Spain completed a pulsating comeback, with Alex Baena and Mikel Oyarzabal both scoring to seal a 3-2 triumph.
