Spain faces England in what should be Nations League thriller

Madrid, Nov 14 (UNI) Spain faces England for the second time in less than two months on Sunday, with the two sides meeting to decide who finishes top of their UEFA Nations League group.

Both teams have already secured their places in the quarterfinals, with Spain confirming qualification in October, while England's 2-1 win over Croatia on Thursday booked its
place in the last eight.
A Spain side missing Lamine Yamal, Mikel Oyarzabal, Aymeric Laporte and Nico Williams won 2-0 away to the Czech Republic on Thursday.
Spain coach Luis de la Fuente confirmed afterward that Yamal and Oyarzabal would rejoin the squad for Sunday's match.
De la Fuente has faced questions over Yamal's availability, with the coach angrily dismissing accusations that the Barcelona winger receives preferential treatment.
"What upsets me are the lies, the things that are made up, the lack of rigour," he commented after the win in the Czech Republic.
Laporte and Williams are also expected to be available after illness kept the Athletic Bilbao duo out of Thursday's match, with Laporte likely to replace Dean Huijsen in central defense, according to Xinhua.
The two teams produced an entertaining encounter at Wembley in September, with Spain coming from 2-1 down to win 3-2 after England captain Harry Kane missed a penalty.
Kane made history on Thursday when he earned his 126th cap for England, becoming the country's most-capped men's player. Sunday's match will mark his second appearance at the Metropolitano Stadium in less than two weeks after he helped Bayern Munich to a 2-0 victory over Atletico
Madrid there in the Champions League.
Spain's victory on Thursday extended its unbeaten run over 90 minutes to 43 matches, and De la Fuente's side will look to maintain that record against an England team also in excellent form in front of a packed Metropolitano on Sunday.
