For the trip to Austria, Imanol Alguacil has set his team up in what appears to be a 4-2-3-1 formation, with Alex Remiro starting in goal behind a back four of Andoni Gorosabel, Igor Zubeldia, Robin Le Normand and Aihen Munoz.
Martin Zubimendi and Mikel Merino will anchor the midfield, while an attacking trident of Adnan Januzaj, David Silva and Portu will operate behind leading man Alexander Isak.
