England will face Spain in a friendly at Wembley on Tuesday, November 15.
Both nations will begin new eras this season, with Sam Allardyce having replaced Roy Hodgson as England manager following their last-16 exit at Euro 2016, while Julen Lopetegui was installed as Vicente del Bosque s successor after Spain bowed out at the same stage in their bid to win a third consecutive European title.
Spain won the previous meeting between the sides, 2-0 in Alicante last November thanks to goals from Mario Gaspar and Santi Cazorla.

Best odds: 4/5
Bookmaker:
Braga will host Maccabi Petah Tikva at Estadio Municipal de Braga on Thursday evening for the first leg of their Europa League second round qualifying tie.
The victor of this two-legged encounter will face off against either Molde FK or Silkeborg IF in the third qualifying round.
Braga
Including qualifiers, Braga are gearing up for their eighth consecutive season in the Europa League, aiming to improve upon last year s early exit in the third qualifying round against Qarabaq FK.
Braga s primary goal in recent years has been to break into the top two of the Portuguese top flight, a feat last achieved in the 2009-10 season. However, they ended the 2023-24 campaign in fourth place for the third time in four seasons.

It was another vintage year for Lionel Messi as the Barcelona star won an incredible 10th La Liga title of his career.
The Argentina international now sits second on the list of the most successful players in Spain s top flight, with two winners medals fewer than Real Madrid legend Paco Gento.
He also won a record-equalling sixth Pichichi Trophy for the league s top scorer, drawing him level with Athletic Bilbao great Telmo Zarra, who stood alone at the top since the 1950s.
Take a minute out of your day and watch all 36 of Messi s strikes this term in just 60 seconds.
This will be the best one minute of your day. Stop what you re doing and watch.

Bob Bradley hit out at Jurgen Klinsmann during his Swansea City presentation and accused the German of jockeying for his job as United States head coach in 2010.
Bradley was formally presented as Francesco Guidolin s successor at Swansea in a media conference on Friday and Klinsmann, his replacement for the USA in 2011, came up as the subject of one question.
The former Germany international publicly congratulated Bradley on getting the Swansea job and, while the former Le Havre coach spoke of his gratitude, he clearly still harboured resentment for Klinsmann s seemingly tactless pining for his position in 2010.
From the day I got fired from the US, I ve not said one thing publicly about that team, he told reporters. I don t appreciate the way it was done; I thi…

I don’t know what makes me feel worse: the flu virus coursing through my veins or another losing week of NFL Underdog picks. Either way, it’s been a shit seven days.
My NFL picks and predictions have had a tough time through nine weeks of action, despite what’s been a profitable run for those teams getting the points. And while I feel like I’m missing out, I don’t feel like I’m missing by much.

Milestone and Alt Overs are a great way to find big plus-money plays. bet365 has Milestone markets for basically every prop so bettors can look into different markets other than the standard yardage NFL player props. They also have markets for more players.
For the Week 15 odds slate, I’m picking on the Washington Commanders and their league-worst pass defense, looking for garbage-time passing from the Arizona Cardinals, and buying the dip on a running back who still dominates the carries in the Jacksonville Jaguars’ backfield.

Ellen White scored twice as England Women enjoyed a 10-0 World Cup qualifying win against Luxembourg, taking her international tally to 43, three goals short of Kelly Smith’s all‑time England goalscoring record.
White, who has now made 97 appearances for England, was joined on the scoresheet by her Manchester City teammate Alex Greenwood – making her 50th appearance for her country – and the centre-back Millie Bright who both scored two. The Arsenal forward Nikita Parris added another and Rachel Daly scored her first goal following the death of her father, while an own goal completed the rout.
