"We're coming off the back of a successful tournament so not a lot has changed," he says.
"With us only being three games into the season, I felt some continuity was important. Those who were with us in the summer deserve the right to go again.
"We wanted some continuity and we've had some mature conversations with players like Jamie Vardy, Gary Cahill and Ashley Young over the desire to look at younger players, and of course we had two injuries.
"We won't stand still. We've added young players Luke Shaw and Joe Gomez.
"We're aware of the excitement around some other young players but we think it's a bit early for them."
