The moves come after Saturday&#8217;s farcical win over Andorra, in which the Three Lions could manage just one goal against the minnows.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">England were booed off at both half-time and at the final whistle by their own fans for their performance.

The game will be hosted at Nottingham Forest&#8217;s City Ground, with FA chiefs keen to have the national team move around the country.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">While the game isn&#8217;t competitive, Tuchel will be taking Tuesday&#8217;s game seriously, given he has a limited amount of time with the team. The German only took charge in January with a brief to win next year&#8217;s World Cup.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">There are only a handful of international breaks left before that tournament, limiting Tuchel&#8217;s time with the squad. And he will now show his ruthless side by making seven changes to his starting line-up.<\/p>\n<p>READ MORE: <a class=\"TextLink_text-link__dBSS0 TextLink_enabled__dJF3l\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mirror.co.uk\/sport\/football\/sky-sports-premier-league-202526-35271711\" tabindex=\"0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sky Sports confirms major Premier League changes ahead of last day of season<\/a>READ MORE: <a class=\"TextLink_text-link__dBSS0 TextLink_enabled__dJF3l\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mirror.co.uk\/sport\/football\/news\/harry-kane-england-tuchel-ronaldo-35364420\" tabindex=\"0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Harry Kane handed &#8216;Cristiano Ronaldo warning&#8217; by England boss Thomas Tuchel<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">Only captain Kane, <a class=\"TextLink_text-link__dBSS0 TextLink_enabled__dJF3l\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mirror.co.uk\/all-about\/aston-villa-fc\" target=\"\" aria-label=\"\" tabindex=\"0\" rel=\"noopener\">Aston Villa<\/a> defender Ezri Konsa, <a class=\"TextLink_text-link__dBSS0 TextLink_enabled__dJF3l\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mirror.co.uk\/all-about\/real-madrid-cf\" target=\"\" aria-label=\"\" tabindex=\"0\" rel=\"noopener\">Real Madrid<\/a> star <a class=\"TextLink_text-link__dBSS0 TextLink_enabled__dJF3l\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mirror.co.uk\/all-about\/jude-bellingham\" target=\"\" aria-label=\"\" tabindex=\"0\" rel=\"noopener\">Jude Bellingham<\/a> and <a class=\"TextLink_text-link__dBSS0 TextLink_enabled__dJF3l\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mirror.co.uk\/all-about\/chelsea-fc\" target=\"\" aria-label=\"\" tabindex=\"0\" rel=\"noopener\">Chelsea<\/a> winger Noni Madueke, who caught the eye against Andorra, will keep their places in the team.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">The changes start in goal, with Dean Henderson handed a start over No.1 <a class=\"TextLink_text-link__dBSS0 TextLink_enabled__dJF3l\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mirror.co.uk\/all-about\/jordan-pickford\" target=\"\" aria-label=\"\" tabindex=\"0\" rel=\"noopener\">Jordan Pickford<\/a>.
