BIG GAME FACTS

-

England have won just three of their last 12 internatio­nals against Spain (W3 D3 L6), claiming victory only once in the most recent six encounters (W1 D1 L4).

England have failed to find the net in six of their last nine clashes with Spain (six goals), although the Three Lions did net twice in their last meeting in November 2016 (2-2). The Three Lions have lost just one of their eight meetings with Spain at Wembley (W5 D2 L1) – a 2-1 defeat in March 1981.

England have won 14 successive competitiv­e fixtures at Wembley, a run stretching back to October 2012 – their longest-ever competitiv­e winning streak at the stadium.

England are unbeaten at Wembley in each of their last 24 competitiv­e matches (W21 D3) since a 3-2 loss to

Croatia in November

2007.

Since losing to

Italy at Euro 2016

(boss Antonio

Conte, right),

Spain are unbeaten in their last 24 matches

(W15 D9) – their longest undefeated streak since June 2013 (26 games). Spain have scored in each of their last 24 internatio­nal games, netting 68 goals and conceding just 19 in that period.

England striker Harry Kane has scored 14 goals in his last 13 games for the Three

Lions, however he’s failed to find the back of the net in his last three.

Kane has scored in each of his last two internatio­nals at Wembley, and if he scores against Spain will become the 20th different player to score in three successive appearance­s for

England at the ground.
