    England were not able to end their World Cup on a high as they were held by Costa Rica in a drab game.

    It was probably the unfancied minnows who had the better chances to win the game, too, but a point sees them incredibly top their Group and England finish last.

    Costa Rica are sticking with most of their regular team, but have made a couple of changes to rest players, introducing Roy Miller and Randall Brenes. England have made wholesale changes, giving chances to a number of the players who didn’t get a chance to impress in the first two games. Frank Lampard is being given an England swan song, while Phil Jones, Chris Smalling, Luke Shaw and Jack Wilshere will get a chance to impress for the Three Lions.

    Ben Foster starts in goal with Phil Jones moving to right-back and Chris Smalling coming in for Phil Jagielka in defence. Luke Shaw also starts at left-back, while James Milner and Adam Lallana are on the flanks. Daniel Sturridge continues up front, and Frank Lampard makes what could be his last ever England start in midfield.

    England starting lineup (4-5-1): Ben Foster; Phil Jones, Gary Cahill, Chris Smalling, Luke Shaw; James Milner, Frank Lampard, Jack Wilshere, Ross Barkley, Adam Lallana; Daniel Sturridge.

    Costa Rica set to face experimental England

    The big news heading in is that England boss Roy Hodgson will radically reshuffle his starting lineup for the Three Lions’ final match. Ben Foster should take Joe Hart’s position in goal, while Luke Shaw, Phil Jones and Chris Smalling should all come into defence. Jordan Henderson and Steven Gerrard are expected to be replaced by Frank Lampard and Jack Wilshere. Adam Lallana, Ross Barkley and James Milner should all make their first starts of the World Cup, though Daniel Sturridge will likely retain his position up top.

    England (4-2-3-1): Ben Foster; Luke Shaw, Gary Cahill, Phil Jones, Chris Smalling; Jack Wilshere, Frank Lampard; Adam Lallana, Ross Barkley, James Milner; Daniel Sturridge
