    Local health authorities have allowed the Olympic Stadium to be filled up to 30% with fans for tonight's game - that means there will be around 21,000 spectators in the stands.

    "I think it's nice for everyone when fans are there and when there's a bit of an atmosphere," said Germany boss Joachim Low.

    "It's something we can look forward to."

    Wholesale changes for Germany - nine changes by boss Joachim Low. Antonio Rudiger and Julian Draxler are the only two to retain their places in the starting XI from the 3-3 draw with Turkey last time out.

    That means Chelsea new boys Timo Werner and Kai Havertz are on the bench.

    West Ham forward Andriy Yarmolenko is in the Ukraine side as the hosts look to make it 11 games unbeaten on home soil.

    Ukraine XI: Bushchan, Karavayev, Zabarnyi, Mykolenko, Sobol, Malinovskyi, Sydorchuk, Kovalenko, Yarmolenko, Yaremchuk, Tsyhankov

    Hello!

    Welcome along to another evening of international action.

    The Nations League is our focus tonight and although there's already been some action in the competition earlier today our focus is on Group 4. Spain and Germany are in action against Switzerland and Ukraine respectively.

    Spain are looking to strengthen their place at the top of the standings after taking four points from their two games so far while Germany are simply looking to get up and running with a first win, having drawn their first two fixtures.

    That's the preamble, onto team news!

  5. Spain to get back scoring?published at 19:29 British Summer Time 10 October 2020

    There will have been a strange feeling for any Spain fans watching the friendly with Portugal in midweek.

    That's because, for the first time in 43 games, they didn't see their team score a goal.

    It was the first they had failed to score in four years. Ansu Fati, who starts tonight, was just 13 the last time they were kept out.

    The Portugal friendly was not dull by any means, despite both sides drawing a blank, but Spain will be determined to get back scoring again as they resume their Nations League campaign tonight.
