England vs. Spain projected XI, lineup, picks, odds: How to watch, live stream Euro 2024 final, start time
How will England and Spain lineup as they chase the title?
History beckons on Sunday for England and Spain, a first men's European Championships for the Three Lions, or a record-breaking fourth for La Furia Roja, by far and away the best performing team in the tournament so far. England might just have the most talent on paper, and some of those qualities finally started shining through in their triumph over the Dutch in the semifinals. Let's take a look at what could be the decisive trends in the game and what could a win for either side mean in the aftermath.
What changes will be made to the starting XIs?
To what extent did the impressive performances of those who entered the defensive fray against France influence Luis de la Fuente for the biggest game of his managerial career? At right back, one would assume the answer is not at all. Jesus Navas performed well in spite of the circumstances the 37-year-old found himself in when he was booked early on while having the task of defending the most dangerous forward in football, but he was aided no end by his opposition's curious reluctance to circulate the ball to Kylian Mbappe on the left flank. In spite of that, it is hard to see how Dani Carvajal, so reliable in the biggest games, does not come in.
Aymeric Laporte's partner might be a little more up for debate. Robin Le Normand had looked solid enough without ever quite excelling before a yellow card ruled him out of the semifinal, one where Nacho entered the fray impressively. The former Real Madrid captain has seen it all when it comes to big finals -- and done it when occasionally called for -- and such big game experience cannot be discounted.
