Spain vs England live: Latest team news and updates from Nations League – UK Times

Among nations England have faced more than once under Sarina Weigman, Spain are the team that average the most shots per game against the Lionesses (15.3).

La Roja have scored just twice in those four matches against England however.

Spain have scored 28 goals in their last seven games across all competitions, scoring 3+ goals in six of those games.

Indeed, in nine of their 13 games in the Women’s Nations League they have scored 3+ goals.

England have failed to win each of their last three away games in all competitions (two draws, one loss).

They last went longer without victory on the road between September 2002 and October 2003 under Hope Powell (played eight, drew two, lost six).

Spain have won nine of their last 10 home games in all competitions (with one draw), since a 3-2 loss to Italy in the 2023-24 Women’s Nations League.

More from Lucy Bronze who explained that England’s style of play is continuously changing.

“We’re one of the most adaptive teams in the world,” she said,

“We’ve got the style where we can possess the ball, we can counter-attack, we can play in behind, we’ve got fast players, we’ve got technical players, we’ve got strong players.

“It’s something that we’ve been working on for a number of years. We’re growing as a team. It’s something we speak about a lot as an England team – how we can adapt in games and how we can change against different teams.”

England’s experienced right-back spoke about the Nations League and how difficult it is to compete.

Lucy Bronze said: “The Nations League is such a difficult competition but one that’s really exciting. Throughout the season, different teams are in different form and missing players at different times and coming back.

“We were so disappointed with the first edition of the Nations League – it made us drop into that second seed which has been so difficult to get back out. For us, it’s definitely a big goal of ours. It’s another chance of silverware.”

Sarina Wiegman makes four changes to the England line-up that faced Portugal on Friday.

In defence, Jess Carter and Esme Morgan drop out with Alex Greenwood and Niamh Charles replacing them.

Grace Clinton is suspended so Georgia Stanway comes back into midfield while Alessia Russo replaces Aggie Beever-Jones up top.

Spain vs England is due to kick off at 6pm BST on Tuesday 3 June at the RCDE Stadium near Barcelona.

Viewers in the United Kingdom can watch the Nations League match live on ITV1, with coverage on the channel from 5.30pm BST. A livestream will be available via ITVX.

Hannah Hampton, instead, is now England’s number one. Not one of the stars of England’s triumph just three years ago, but Sarina Wiegman’s new favourite.
