UEFA Nations League: England vs Spain: Combined XI

Striker: Harry Kane (England/Tottenham Hotspur)

Kane shows no signs of stopping

England's peerless striker followed-up his Premier League heroics with a stellar World Cup campaign, bagging six goals as well as the prestigious Golden Boot. And Kane has taken no time to get going again, striking twice from four games to end the August-month jinx. His services would be vital in helping the Three Lions progress to the next round of the Nations League from the formidable group.

He wasn't a part of the England side that drew 2-2 with Spain at Wembley two years ago, but here's a chance to add another scalp to his growling list of high-profile hits.

Striker: Alvaro Morata (Spain/Chelsea)

Morata is still finding his attacking boots

Morata seems to have hit the crossroads in 2018. What started off as a whirlwind at Chelsea with 7 goals from first 6 league games, ended up a whimper as the Real Madrid striker fizzled out following Christmas and had to face the repercussions of being ostracized from the World Cup squad. His struggles have, must to his own frustrations, continued in the new campaign and has struck only once for the Blues in the Premier League so far.

These are really worrying signs, but Morata has proved his potential with the Merengues in the past and this might just be a lean phase before he find his shooting boots again. Whatever it's going with him right now, Morata has to do it fast. Else risk losing his place in the Spanish ranks permanently. The Nations League is an opportunity to right the wrongs and gets back into the thick of the things by the time the Euros come calling.
