England play Spain in their first taste of the UEFA Nations League on Saturday, which, no matter what Harry Maguire says about Three Lions players being confused by the new tournament, is a more than straightforward and much needed fresh take on international football.
Spain have been a semi-regular international opponent for England over the last few years. The countries have met each other in seven friendlies so far this century, although England's record has generally been poor during that time.
A 3-0 win over Spain at Villa Park in Sven-Goran Eriksson's very first outing as England boss in 2001 sticks in the memory - a game that saw Michael Ball and Gavin McCann join the Three Lions one-cap wonder club - but they have lost four of their last six games against La Roja.
