Stage set: Estadio MetropolitanoGettyEngland travel to Spain this evening in the final game of their Nations League group campaign. The Three Lions are second in Group A3, three points behind tonight’s opponents. Thomas Tuchel’s men suffered their only defeat of the group stages against the world champions, who edged a 3-2 thriller at Wembley Stadium in the last international break in September. Now, the World Cup semi-finalists could leapfrog Luis de la Fuente’s men, should they defeat them by three clear goals at the Estadio Metropolitano. England converge on Madrid fresh off their 2-1 victory over Croatia last time out, as Harry Kane moved past Peter Shilton to break the former goalkeeper’s record for most England caps. The Ballon d’Or winner will be keen to prove his worth as the world’s best player against the world’s best team here, and Tuchel is expected to go strong with eyes on the knockout rounds of this competition next year.
