England are second in Group A3 with 12 points and have won four matches in a row since losing their opening game 3–2 to Spain at Wembley. A win in Madrid would keep alive their chance of finishing above Spain in the group.

Thomas Tuchel’s team have responded strongly to that early defeat. They beat Czechia 2–0 away, crushed Croatia 7–0 in Zagreb, then defeated Czechia 3–0 at home. Their most recent result was a 2–1 win over Croatia at Wembley, secured by a late Harry Kane penalty.

England team news

Tuchel has confirmed that James Trafford will start in goal rather than Jordan Pickford, continuing his rotation policy for the trip to Madrid.

England have also been strengthened by the return of centre-back Ezri Konsa and full-back Djed Spence, both of whom returned to full training after missing Thursday’s 2–1 win against Croatia. Left-back Myles Lewis-Skelly is available again after completing a one-match suspension.

However, Marc Guéhi has withdrawn from the squad because of a hip injury and has been replaced by Dan Burn. Bukayo Saka was not included in the November squad at all because of a quadriceps problem.

Jude Bellingham is free to play after avoiding a booking against Croatia, meaning he can feature in the city where he plays his club football. Tuchel is also considering whether to select Jarell Quansah instead of Trent Alexander-Arnold at right-back for added defensive security, and whether to give teenager Rio Ngumoha his first full England start.

England predicted lineup

Possible England starting XI: Trafford; Alexander-Arnold, Konsa, Burn, Hall; Anderson, Rice; Rogers, Bellingham, Gordon; Kane

The match will kick off at 7:45pm BST on Sunday, 15th November.
