That last meeting between these two teams ended with Italy triumphing via a penalty shootout after the two sides played out a remarkable 1-1 draw at Wembley. 

Injuries are set to mean its a much-changed Spanish line-up this time out, with big name stars with the likes of Pedri, Alvaro Morata, Jordi Alba, Gerard Moreno and Dani Olmo all unavailable to Enrique.

Both Ciro Immobile and Andrea Belotti miss this game for the hosts, with Giacomo Raspadori and former Everton star Moise Kean both in line to start for Roberto Mancini's European champs.
