So changes, apologies just wanted to get the news to you as soon as possible. Spain have made a raft of changes – 10 to be precise – with Aymeri Laporte the only survivor from their final group game against Albania. Admittedly, Spain may have been resting a few stars as they had already qualified for the knockouts.

Georgia, meanwhile, have kept the same starting line-up as the team who beat Portugal. And who would?

Georgia: Mamardashvili, Kakabadze, Gvelesiani, Kashia, Dvali, Lochoshvili, Chakvetadze, Kiteishvili, Kochrashvili, Mikautadze, Kvaratskhelia

Spain v Georgia prediction

Spain have probably been the best team of the tournament so far, Georgia the most fun. There was scepticism about Luis de la Fuente when he was appointed Spain manager but he seems to have achieved the remarkable feat of changing a football culture. Since winning the Euros in 2012, their third tournament in a row, Spanish football has remained technically brilliant, but too often their possession game seemed a little purposeless. In this tournament, though, thanks largely to the two wingers, Nico Williams and Lamine Yamal, they have been much more direct and, seemingly, much more dangerous – although they did somehow only beat Italy 1-0 despite overwhelming domination.

But, as they showed in the group stage, Georgia can pose a threat, and will relish the chance to attack the space behind Spain through the quick and skilful forwards Georges Mikautadze and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia. If they are to cause a shock, though, they may need another exceptional performance from their goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili.

Verdict Thrilling Spain win

The England game continues with Gareth Southgate’s side currently 1-0 down to Slovakia. It has been a lacklustre performance from England but can they claw it back? Rob Smyth is taking you through that one here:

Preamble

Hello and welcome to the fourth last 16 match of the Euros. Spain take on Georgia in what feels like a David v Goliath match.

Spain have been one of the most impressive sides in the competition so far and have young talent showcasing what they can do. This is not to say Georgia haven’t been impressive, they have and have become many fans’ second team, but it would be a huge shock if Georgia got the better of Spain today.

But everyone knows the outcome of David v Goliath. The favourites are capable of losing and who better to do so than a nation riding the wave of their success. This is the first-ever European Championships Georgia have played in.

Their group stage was impressive for their first in the competition. The start wasn’t what they would have wanted with a 3-1 loss to Turkey but they followed it up with a 1-1 draw against the Czech Republic and a phenomenal 2-0 win over Portugal.

If they can down Portugal, they can do the same to Spain. But Spain are a slightly different beast, if both teams are on it today we are in for a tasty battle. We’ll take a look at the build-up to the match with manager insight next before team news, expected in the next half an hour.
