Gareth Southgate will ring the changes for England 's friendly against France.

Southgate has not lost any players after Saturday's dramatic draw with Scotland in a World Cup qualifier but is certain to shake-up his starting line-up for Tuesday night in Paris.

The Three Lions' boss is acutely aware of clubs being concerned about tiredness and fatigue at the end of the season and will give a few players a rest.

He might also look at deploying a back three at the Stade de France after using it in training last week and may try different options up front.
