Thursday 12 November

The penultimate matchday of the UEFA Nations League group stage begins, with the two Group C fixtures featuring blaugranes today both kicking off at 8.45pm CET. England and Gordon are at home to Croatia and Livaković, while Lamine Yamal, Pedri, Joan Garcia, Fermín and Cubarsí are away with Spain to play Czechia.

Spain have already qualified for the quarterfinals and England can join them with at least a draw. A victory for Croatia will secure a relegation play-off place prior to the final round of games.
