England play world champions Spain in the Nations League at Wembley Stadium on Saturday night, in their first outing since beating France 6-4 in the third-place play-off at the World Cup this summer.
Having both reached the semi-finals with England losing 2-1 to Argentina and Spain beating France 2-0 before eventually defeating Argentina 1-0 in the final, both nations also rank in the top three Nations League squads ranked by market values, but how do their players compare?
FootballWhispers explores who the least and most expensive players are, with all market values taken from Transfermarkt.

England's squad has a higher market value (£1.53bn) than Spain's (£1.16n), and is the most expensive of all national teams.
Spain rank third overall, behind France (£1.25bn) in second.
Incidentally, the top five are all from UEFA, with Argentina (£825.17m) from the CONMEBOL in sixth.

England's most expensive player is Jude Bellingham (£137.6m), followed by Bukayo Saka, Morgan Rogers and Elliot Anderson (all £94.6m).
Spain's most expensive player is Lamine Yamal (£189.2m), followed by Pedri (£129m), Fermin Lopez and Pau Cubarsi (both £86m).
Interestingly, Yamal is the joint-most expensive player in the world alongside Norway's Erling Haaland, while Bellingham is the fifth-most expensive.

England's least expensive player is Jason Steele (£430k), followed by Jordan Pickford (£11.18m), Dominic Calvert-Lewin (£18.92m) and James Trafford (£21.5m).
Spain's least expensive player is Aymeric Laporte (£6.88m), followed by Josep Martinez, Roberto Fernandez (both £8.6m) and Ivan Fresneda (£12.9m).
Interestingly, three of England's four least expensive players are goalkeepers, while two of Spain's four are uncapped in Fernandez and Fresneda.
England vs. Spain: Transfer records

Rogers became the most expensive England player when he signed from Aston Villa to Chelsea for £118.68m this summer.
Perhaps surprising given he is a goalkeeper and the transfer happened eight years ago, but Kepa Arrizabalaga remains the most expensive Spain player, signing for Chelsea from Athletic Club for £68.8m.
Overall, Rogers is the sixth-most expensive player ever, but Kepa does not even make the top 50!
