Norway Team News:

Teenage sensation Erling Haaland pulled out of the Norway squad due to an injury. The 19-year-old Norwegian hogged the limelight all over the world after scoring a sensation first-half hattrick against Genk in the Champions League for Red Bull Salzburg. He continued his impressive form with a goal at Anfield against Liverpool. He will be missed.

Norway will also miss Andre Hansen (hamstring) and Ruben Gabrielsen (ankle) with injuries.

Sondre Rossbach, Sigurd Rosted and Mohamed Elyounoussi have been roped in as replacements for the above mentioned injured trio.

Likely tactics:

Head coach Lars Lagerbäck opted for a 4-4-1-1 formation in the last two games and is expected to stick to that tactics here as well.

Bournemouth striker Joshua King is fit and is in the squad. He will be leading the attack for the hosts, with in-form Real Sociedad playmaker Martin Ødegaard playing just behind him.

Despite turning 35, Rune Jarstein is expected to start in goal for the hosts, with Havard Nordtveidt, Omar Elabdellaoui, Haitam Aleesami and Even Hovland composing the backline.

Spain FC Team News:

Barcelona left-back Jordi Alba has failed to make the cut due to an injury. He is joined by Valencia left-back Jose Gaya on the sidelines.

While Borussia Dortmund’s Paco Alcacer along with Atletico Madrid’s Mario Hermoso hasn’t been called up by manager Roberto Moreno.

Fabian Ruiz and Dani Ceballos both missed training on Wednesday but should be fine for the game.

New faces in Spain’s squad and who gets the nod?

New Spain coach Robert Moreno is already making his mark on the national team. He has two wins from as many games since replacing Luis Enrique at the hot seat and is not shying away from taking tough decisions.

For long, David De Gea has been seen as an undisputed no-1 at Spain set-up, but due to his lack of consistency of late, Moreno has used Kepa Arrizabalaga as his no-1. Expect the Chelsea shot-stopper to get the nod here as well.

He has also handed three players their first international call-up with Gerard Moreno, Pau Torres and Sergio Reguilon getting picked.

Sergio Ramos will captain the side once again while his partner should be Real Sociedad centre-back Diego Llorente. Full backs slots should be occupied by Juan Bernat at left-back, with Dani Carvajal on the opposite flank.

Rodri and Sergio Busquets battle for a place in the centre of midfield, but we expect the Barcelona star to pip Man City man in this game.

While players such as Saul, Ruiz, Thiago Alcantara, Santi Cazorla and Ceballos all could be named in the midfield.

Gerard Moreno has been exceptional for Villarreal this season and will be pushing for a start.

Spain squad:

Goalkeepers: David de Gea, Kepa Arrizabalaga, Pau López
Defenders: Sergio Ramos, Raúl Albiol, Jesús Navas, Dani Carvajal, Juan Bernat, Iñigo Martínez, Diego Llorente, Sergio Reguilón, Pau Torres
Midfielders: Sergio Busquets, Santi Cazorla, Thiago, Saúl, Rodri, Dani Ceballos, Fabián, Pablo Sarabia, Luis Alberto
Forwards: Rodrigo, Mikel Oyarzabal, Gerard Moreno

Spain Probable XI:

Kepa (GK), Carvajal, Llorente, Ramos, Bernat, Ruiz, Busquets, Saul, Sarabia, Rodrigo, Oyarzabal

Likely to score:
