England will face a stern test when they take on Spain in a friendly at Wembley this evening and obviously there are a whole host of Premier League players on show.

The United captain misses out due to a minor knee injury so team mate Jesse Lingard comes in to the attack while Leicester City’s Jamie Vardy replaces Liverpool’s Daniel Sturridge up front.
Nathaniel Clyne comes in at right-back with Tottenham’s Kyle Walker missing out but Danny Rose is passed fit to keep his place at left-back. Joe Hart once again starts between the sticks while Raheem Sterling and Adam Lallana continue in attack.
Chelsea defender Cesar Azpilicueta lines-up at the back for Spain while Manchester United midfielder Juan Mata also gets a run out alongside Manchester City’s David Silva.
