ST PETERSBURG (Reuters) - England manager Gareth Southgate says he hopes to make "as few changes as possible" for Saturday's World Cup third-place playoff against Belgium.

Southgate says his selection will be based primarily on the fitness of individual players suggesting he will resist the temptation to give some fringe players a run-out.
