England have the chance to avenge their defeat and end Spain’s 43-match unbeaten record when they face the reigning world champions in Sunday’s final Nations League group encounter.

Spain staged a 3-2 comeback victory at London’s Wembley Stadium in late September, as Lamine Yamal scored an early opener and Mikel Oyarzabal finished the job.

Spain and England have both sealed their berth in the competition’s quaterfinals, with La Roja assured of the top spot should they avoid defeat on Sunday. England, meanwhile, will finish second if they fail to beat the two-time World Cup winners.

Teenage sensation Yamal, with four goals, and Mikel Merino, with three, have headlined Spain’s attacking charge, while newly-crowned Ballon d’Or recipient Harry Kane leads England.

They beat England 3-2 in the first game, an away trip, and followed it with a 4-1 rout of Croatia at home.

Then, they beat Czechia 3-1 at home, followed by a 2-1 away win over Croatia and a 2-0 away win over Czechia.

England are second in Group A3 with 12 points from five games, having won four times and lost once.

Their Nations League campaign started with a 3-2 home defeat to Spain before Thomas Tuchel’s side beat Czechia 2-0 and thrashed Croatia 7-0 in back-to-back away fixtures.
