Spain will start with Diego Costa up front against Portugal, in Fernando Hierro's first game in charge of La Roja, after Julen Lopetegui's shock sacking on Wednesday. 

Silva and Isco will be the wide players supporting the physical Atlético Madrid striker, with Iniesta, Koke and Busquets in the midfield. Carvajal is still not fit, and Nacho slots in there, in preference to the talented, but less experienced Odriozola.

Spain starting XI

De Gea, Nacho, Pique, Ramos, Alba, Busquets, Koke, Silva, Isco, Iniesta, Costa

Portgual starting XI

Rui Patricio, Pepe, Raphael, Fonte, Cédric, Moutinho, Bernardo, William, Fernandes. Ronaldo, Guedes
