England now sits ahead of Belgium in the standings, but that could change even if the teams draw, as England is in first due to the "fair play" tiebreaker, which scores teams based on yellow and red cards when goal differential and goals scored aren't enough to determine a victor.
With progress to the last-16 already assured, both sides are planning changes for Thursday's Kaliningrad encounter despite the match deciding the victor of Group G.
"The majority of Belgian players, they play in England".
"But I think it's the same like Belgium they have a great attack and then the defence there might be some weakness".
A staggering eight changes, i has been told, are expected to the XI playing the Group G decider this evening. In fact, they head into the match with the exact same record, posting eight goals apiece - a figure equalled by Russian Federation alone - and conceding twice. These two teams come into this one on a combined 31 match unbeaten run, and I think we can add another one to that column as I see this being somewhat of a snooze-fest, ending in a goalless draw. If you do not play to win, you are cheating your opponents, deceiving those who are watching, and also fooling yourself.
"That resonated with me because I'd probably just ruled myself out of taking the job".
"From talking to young people or my own kids, I would be saying those things and I wasn't living it". I think that's unsafe territory if we start trying to plot and predict where we might end up.
"Even as a young player you maybe only get one World Cup".

It's a hard game to referee because it's got faster, it's really fluid. "I didn't think we were far off in Brisbane either". Although he received support from a number of other coaches, the idea was not supported by World Rugby.

Here's how you can watch the match and more.
The fact only five survivors remain from the 2014 edition in Brazil only underlines Southgate's point.
The news is sure to be well-received in the England camp, although there have been suggestions the runners-up finishers in Group G will be the ones with an easier route to the latter stages of the World Cup.
The World Cup knockout bracket has already begun to take shape, and it's clear that one side of the bracket is a much more challenging path to the final.
And Will Tomlinson, 34, from Retford, in Nottinghamshire, said he hoped for an English influx as the team progressed through the tournament. "He wants to contribute to a winning team and he knows it is not as satisfying if you are a player scoring goals and the team does not win".
"No matter what I can say, actually getting the guys on the field is far more powerful than anything else I can talk to them about".
Southgate wants to see another high level of performance on Thursday, when Dele Alli could return to the side after missing out against Panama with a thigh strain.
