Spain will be looking to maintain their undefeated streak in the UEFA Nations League when they take on England on Monday evening. You can watch the action from the Benito Villamarín stadium Live & Exclusive with beIN SPORTS Connect. 

It’s been a perfect start for new La Roja boss Luis Enrique who has won all three games in charge since replacing Julen Lopetegui. Nations League victories over England and a thumping 6-0 win over Croatia have helped the former Barca boss settle, and whilst a much-changed side comfortably swatted aside Wales 4-1 last week.

Key Man

Borussia Dortmund attacker Paco Alcácer is likely to lead the line in Seville and will be the player to watch out for. The 25-year old is currently the leading goal scorer in the Bundesliga with six goals and has been averaging a goal every 14 minutes. The Barcelona loanee is also fresh from bagging a brace against Wales and could prove to the be the difference maker against an established England backline. 

Spain Predicted Team– De Gea; Azpilicueta, Macho, Ramos, Alonso; Koke, Busquets, Thiago; Asensio, Rodrigo, Alcacer

As for England, they will be targeting to pick up a maiden victory in the UEFA Nations League following a 0-0 draw with Croatia. It was a strange atmosphere for the England side to play behind closed doors, denying fans the chance to watch the Three Lions. Although a bunch of England supporters did manage to watch the game from the vantage point of a nearby hill. 

Although the few fans would be disappointed by the game, which failed to hit the heights of their World Cup semi-final just three months ago. Both Eric Dier and Harry Kane hit the woodwork, whilst Marcus Rashford was guilty of missing two clear chances which he really should have scored from. 

Despite the flat nature of the night in Rijeka, England boss Garth Southgate can be encouraged by the performances of Ben Chilwell at left-back and the late cameo of Jaden Sancho who troubled a tiring Croatia backline on the wing. The Borussia Dortmund star now has a genuine chance of starting in Spain for the Three Lions. 

Key Man

Harry Maguire could have a crucial role to play if England is to come away with all three points. The Leicester City defender has firmly established himself as one of the first names on Gareth Southgate’s team sheet. Spain currently is the leading goal scorers in the UEFA Nations League, and Maguire will have to be at his very best if Spain is not to score for the first time in 26 internationals. Whilst the 25-year old is also a major threat at set pieces for the Three Lions. 

England Predicted Team- Pickford; Walker, Gomez, Maguire, Chilwell; Maddison, Dier, Barkley; Sterling, Kane, Rashford

It certainly promises to be a fascinating encounter as Spain look to maintain their strong start to the UEFA Nations League against England. Watch all the action Live & Exclusive on beIN SPORTS CONNECT.
