London, 10 Sept, — Gareth Southgate will ring the changes against Switzerland despite running the risk of England suffering their WORST-EVER run of results.
Southgate is ready to make up to NINE changes for the friendly at Leicester on Tuesday — even though losing again could mean they endure four consecutive defeats for the first time in the team’s history.
England’s defeat to Spain made it three in a row, which is their worst run of results in 30 years — and the next two games after this friendly are Nations League away trips to World Cup conquerors Croatia and the return with Spain next month.
However, Southgate is determined to push through wholesale changes against the Swiss — who hammered the Three Lions' Euro 2016 conquerors Iceland 6-0 in their Nations League opener on Saturday — so he give nearly every player in this squad a run-out.
Trent Alexander-Arnold and James Tarkowski are set to come in at the back, where Kyle Walker will also regain his place in the starting line-up after being replaced by Joe Gomez on Saturday.
John Stones and Harry Kane are likely to continue, but Saturday's late sub Danny Welbeck is set to start up front with Fabian Delph, Eric Dier and Ruben Loftus-Cheek all in a new-look midfield.
