Southgate set to hand Burnley keeper his England Debut

Burnley keeper Nick Pope is set to be rewarded with an England debut tonight.

England boss Gareth Southgate will start with Jack Butland in goal after deciding to ring the changes with virtually a completely different line-up to face Costa Rica. But Southgate plans to give Pope a run-out in the second half as he does not want to go to the World Cup with uncapped players in his squad.

Pope has had an excellent season with Burnley and his form has earned him the World Cup call-up.
