Spain may have already booked their place at Euro 2024, but they will still want to finish qualifying on a high as they look to secure top spot in Group A.
The three-time continental champions qualified for next summer's tournament after beating Norway 1-0 in October, but they will still need a result against Georgia on Sunday to finish first in the group. Scotland are on their tails, but a win would ensure Luis de la Fuente's side of top spot, although a draw would likely be enough given their superior goal difference.
Spain secured a 3-1 victory against Cyprus in their first clash of the November international break, with goals from Lamine Yamal, Mikel Oyarzabal and Joselu proving the difference.
De la Fuente is unlikely to rest too many players for the visit of Georgia, despite the fact that the 2010 world champions beat Sunday's opponents 7-1 in the reverse fixture.

GK: Unai Simon - While David Raya was preferred against Cyprus, Simon has tended to be the number one choice for Spain under De la Fuente. The Athletic Club goalkeeper should return against Georgia.
RB: Dani Carvajal - Jesus Navas featured against Cyprus, but Carvajal, who played the final minutes on Thursday, is likely to take his place back from the Sevilla man.
CB: Robin Le Normand - The 27-year-old's impressive showings for Real Sociedad have helped him make a late entrance into the Spain setup. Without a wealth of options at centre-back, De la Fuente should offer Le Normand his eighth cap.
CB: Pau Torres - Now gracing the Premier League with Aston Villa, Torres has firmly established himself on the left side of a centre-back pairing.
LB: Alex Grimaldo - Despite having been around the block a fair few times, the 28-year-old only made his Spain debut against Cyprus. Jose Gaya's injury and Grimaldo's superb performances with Bayer Leverkusen this season have earned him his spot at left-back.
CM: Gavi - The man who scored the goal that sent Spain to Euro 2024, Gavi also featured against Cyprus on Thursday. The Barcelona youngster already has 26 Spain caps at just 19 years old.
CM: Martin Zubimendi - With Rodri absent for the Cyprus clash and a doubt for the visit of Georgia, Zubimendi should retain his spot. The Real Sociedad holding midfielder may be inexperienced at senior international level but has shown his qualities in La Liga over recent seasons.
CM: Mikel Merino - While there may be a spot for Paris Saint-Germain's Fabian Ruiz somewhere in the midfield, Merino could also keep his place after providing an assist against Cyprus.
RW: Lamine Yamal - The 16-year-old grabbed his second Spain goal against Cyprus and has been in terrific form for Barcelona. Yamal is his country's youngest-ever player and goalscorer.
ST: Alvaro Morata - The striker has been in tremendous form with Atletico Madrid and scored a hat-trick against Georgia in the reverse fixture. While Joselu started and netted against Cyprus, Morata should return against Georgia.
