Spain, the world champions, are looking to extend their winning streak and secure their place in the UEFA Nations League quarter-finals when they travel to face a wounded Croatia today, while Harry Kane will be on the verge of equalling Peter Shilton’s record for the most appearances for the England national team in their match against the Czech Republic. Spain emerged victorious from all three of their initial Group Stage 1, League A fixtures, including a 3-2 win over England at their home ground, Wembley, on September 26, which placed them top of the table with nine points, compared to six for Kane and his teammates, the Three Lions. At Wembley against the Czech Republic, Kane will be set to equal the all-time appearance record for England, currently held by former goalkeeper Peter Shilton (125 caps between 1970 and 1990). The 33-year-old player also holds the record for the most goals scored for his country (89 goals), the latest being a brace in the emphatic victory over Croatia.
