Tuchel will take charge of his fourth England game at Nottingham Forest's home where he will look to keep up his 100 per cent winning record since taking over as head coach in January. England came under criticism on Saturday after they only managed to edge a narrow 1-0 World Cup qualifying victory over Andorra, courtesy of Harry Kane's 50th-minute goal.

Certain sections of fans made their feelings known at the break and full-time with boos and Tuchel was thinking about giving the players more freedom in their midweek friendly.

Asked when England would be playing the style of football he liked, Tuchel replied: “I'm very impatient, which is not always a good thing.

“I'm always impatient because when you step out into the stadium and even if the fixture itself for the players is after a big season, after big finals, European finals, fighting for Champions League places in a big league, it might not be the most exciting fixture.
