Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford wants to play for England tomorrow against Belgium in the World Cup's third-place play off.

England boss Gareth Southgate will make a number of changes for the third-place play-off in St Petersburg.

But keeper Pickford, who has enjoyed an impressive tournament, wants his 11th senior cap even though Jack Butland hopes to feature.

Everton stopper Pickford, 24, said: “Hopefully I will get the nod against Belgium. I'd love to be the goalkeeper of the tournament.

“We came to win this tournament and we can't do that now but we want to finish third. It will be a tough test against Belgium — again.

“It will be hard to get ourselves up for it. That's where character comes in. It's a chance to show our togetherness. We want to finish a great tournament on a high.

“We can't finish the best team in the world but we can still be third best.

“Against Croatia, we really needed that second goal before half-time or just after, to give ourselves a cushion.

“We had chances but Croatia kept getting better. We wanted to win the World Cup for ourselves but also for our families, the fans and the country.

“My overriding thought is we did ourselves proud. The country believes in us again. I don't think they were expecting too much."
