It seems unlikely, sadly enough. If England wins (or rather, when), then Belgium has little incentive to go all out against England. Belgian coach has already said that he's likely to play with an alternative team. Lukaku, Hazard and Mertens have minor injuries. Debruyne, Meunier and Vertonghen have a yellow card. So those six might not play at all.
That does reduce the Belgian attack power significantly. Batshuayi and Tielemans are not bad, but not as experienced. Not sure what the English coach is going to do. Why risk the best players in a match that isn't as important?
