Thomas Tuchel and England host World Champions Spain at Wembley Stadium in London for the UEFA Nations League opener on Saturday (kick-off at 8:45 PM in the LIVE ticker >>>)

Tuchel must do without Cole Palmer against Spain. The English, who finished third at the World Cup, face the strongest team in world football currently. Spain and De La Fuente, who recently extended his contract until 2032, arrive with the in-form Lamine Yamal, Ferran Torres, and Fermin Lopez.

Out of 28 clashes between the two, Spain has won eleven times, while England emerged victorious 14 times. However, the momentum clearly lies with the World Champions. They have only lost one of their last five matches against the English.

Croatia and Czech Republic are also in the Nations League group with these two.
