Thomas Tuchel made three changes as England attempt to win in world champions Spain’s backyard and top their Nations League group.
La Roja won the reverse fixture at Wembley in September, but the World Cup bronze medallists can usurp them atop Group A3 with a victory at the Metropolitano on Sunday night.
Ben White will get a chance to try and win round those that booed him on Thursday having replaced Trent Alexander-Arnold at right-back.

Ezri Konsa missed England’s Nations League win against Croatia through a knock but came in for Dan Burn in Madrid.
James Trafford, as Tuchel confirmed on the eve of the match, started in goal rather than Jordan Pickford.
Jarrad Branthwaite, Josh King and James Garner did not make the 23-man squad against Spain, who brought Lamine Yamal back into their starting XI.
