After England’s win over Albania, Southgate was asked if he planned to make changes.
“We will make changes, definitely,” he said. “Tonight with the team we felt the balance was important.
“We felt that to match up tactically with the way that they played meant that we could be aggressive in our pressure and basically your man-for-man – and we should have better players and come through with the win.
“But that still needed the players to really perform well and I thought they really took that edge into the game.
“Yes, we will make quite a few changes but what we’ve done well in the past is sustain good performances, even with those changes.
“Although it was one of the more experienced teams we’ve fielded, we still had a lot of exciting young talent out there tonight.”
