Iker Casillas can get the nod over David de Gea, which will understandably always be coming to terms together with his failed transfer to Real Madrid on Monday.
Cesc Fabregas could miss the opportunity after his poor commence to the season with Chelsea. Juan Mata isn't more likely to celebrate his come back to the squad which has a starting berth.
Slovakia head coach Ján Kozák could field exactly the same XI that triumphed within their last outing. He could be lured to start Miroslav Stoch, who scored the winner when these teams met last time out.

Prediction
Vicente del Bosque's side really do not want to lose this match. Slovakia are still three points free of them towards the top of Group C and defeat or draw would surely mean the reigning European champions will have to settle for second place.
Slovakia's triumph within the reverse fixture this past year ended Spain's 36-game unbeaten run in qualifiers that stretched returning to 2006. The visitors are going to be hoping to continue their perfect record inside group but would happily go on a point.
Spain still haven't was able to recapture the verve that dominated international football before their failings for the World Cup last summer, however it is hard to discover how a squad as talented since this cannot triumph on home soil.
