A much-needed antidote to the dross served up by England is arguably the most attractive game – on paper at least – of the tournament so far.
It’s Spain v Italy, which kicks off at 20:00 BST at the Arena AufSchalke.
If there is to be a victor in tonight’s fixture, they’ll follow Germany in securing a passage to the round of 16.
Not only that, they’ll secure top spot in Group B. The winner of this group will face one of the best third-place teams, with the Group B runners-up squaring off against the second-place team in Germany’s group.
Onto the team news and there is just one change across the two sides.
It’s made by Spain, who recall the fit-again Aymeric Laporte.
Nacho drops to the bench as a result.
Italy are unchanged from the 2-1 win over Albania.

9 months, 20 days agoOne good thing about England doing naff is that pretty much all my team will have something to play for in MD3 now. Only four players could be rotation risks if France and Turkey win and Germany first match so I can my two German players out if worst comes to worst.
