Spain vs Israel team news: Costa, Vitolo and Silva in attack

Julen Lopetegui has sprung no surprises with his starting line-up as Spain host Israel in qualifying for World Cup 2018 tonight (20:45 CET).

Having missed La Roja's last Group G clash against Macedonia, Sergio Ramos, Gerard Piqué and Jordi Alba return to a full-strength defence.

Andrés Iniesta is back in midfield alongside Sergio Busquets and Thiago Alcántara, the Bayern Munich man getting the nod over Atlético Madrid's Koke.

Diego Costa is in at centre-forward, with David Silva and Vitolo either side of the Chelsea striker, who is one of six Spain players a booking away from a ban.

Sporting Gijón's El Molinón is the venue for tonight's clash.
