Line-ups: Spain-Macedonia

Spain’s second string look to impress in Sergio Ramos, Gerard Pique, Jordi Alba and Andres Iniesta’s collective absence against FYR Macedonia tonight.

With the quartet joined by Javi Martinez and Diego Costa on the sidelines, David de Gea starts in goal and is protected by a back four of Dani Carvajal, Marc Bartra, Nacho Fernandez and Nacho Monreal.

Sergio Busquets anchors Koke and Thiago Alcantara in central midfield, while up top is the tried-and-tested formula of Vitolo and David Silva flanking Alvaro Morata.

Spain have won all of their five previous meetings with Macedonia, and a significant victory in Granada would keep La Roja top of their 2018 World Cup qualifying group.
