Southgate and Martinez make a combined 17 changes for Group G clash

After guaranteeing their spots in the knockout stages one game early, both managers opted to rest their stars for the final Group G clash. 

The only thing at stake in Kaliningrad is the top spot in the group, so the likes of Harry Kane, Raheem Sterling, Romelu Lukaku and Eden Hazard all drop to the bench.

For England, there are eight changes. In the defence, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Danny Rose, Gary Cahill and Phil Jones replace Kieran Trippier, Ashley Young, Harry Maguire and Kyle Walker.

In the midfield, Eric Dier and Fabian Delph come in for Jordan Henderson and Jesse Lingard, while up top Jamie Vardy and Marcus Rashford lead the line instead of Harry Kane and Raheem Sterling.

Roberto Martinez makes even more changes, retaining just Thibaut Courtois and Dedryck Boyata from the side that beat Tunisia.

Leander Dendoncker, Thomas Vermaelen, Nacer Chadli, Mousa Dembele, Marouane Fellaini, Youri Tielemans, Thorgan Hazard, Adnan Januzaj and Michy Batshuayi all enter the fray, with big stars like Kevin De Bruyne, Eden Hazard, Dries Mertens and Jan Vertonghen dropping out.
