TEAM NEWS

Spain coach Vicente del Bosque has said that he will keep faith with Fernando Torres, despite the Liverpool striker's poor form at this World Cup. With that in mind, they are likely to stick with the same team for the third game running.

Midfielder Javier Martinez injured an ankle in training so may miss out on a place on the bench.

Paraguay may opt to restore Victor Caceres to the team after he missed the match with Japan through suspension. If he does play, he is expected to take the place of Nestor Ortigoza.

Aureliano Torres has recovered from a minor calf strain.

One booking from suspension: Alonso (Spain). Enrique Vera, Cristián Riveros and Roque Santa Cruz (Paraguay)

Wonder if we'll see another upset?
