Arsenal full-back Nacho Monreal starts in place of the injured Jordi Alba for Spain's World Cup qualifier against Group G leaders Albania.

Arsenal full-back Nacho Monreal has been brought in for the injured Jordi Alba for Spain's World Cup qualifier against Group G leaders Albania this evening.

The defensive switch is one of two personnel changes to the side that drew 1-1 with Italy last time out, with Daniel Carvajal also making way for Thiago Alcantara.

Manchester pair David de Gea and David Silva retain their places in the side, while Chelsea's Diego Costa is once again preferred to Alvaro Morata up front.

In defence, Sergio Ramos wins his 140th cap for his country as Spain go in search of a win that would see them leapfrog Albania in top spot.

Albania, meanwhile, make six changes to their side having eased to a 2-0 win over minnows Liechtenstein last time out to make it two wins from two in Group G.

Etrit Berisha, Elseid Hysaj, Mergim Mavraj, Bekim Balaj and Odhise Roshi are the only players to keep their place from that side as manager Giovanni de Biasi recalls a number of first-team players.

Albania: Berisha; Hysaj, Mavraj, Xhimshiti, Agolli; Lila, Memushaj, Xhaka; Lenjani, Balaj, Roshi

Spain: De Gea; Ramos, Piqué, Monreal; Iniesta, Busquets, Koke, Thiago; Silva, Diego Costa, Vitolo
