Aside from Arsenal’s quartet - Bukayo Saka, Declan Rice, Noni Madueke and Eberechi Eze - who featured in last weekend’s Champions League final loss to Paris Saint-Germain, the rest of the squad have been put through their paces since arriving in the United States at the beginning of the week.
This is one of three friendlies England have planned before facing Croatia in their World Cup opener on June 17, with a training match against Miami United and a showdown with Costa Rice to follow next week.
Tuchel will be hopeful of better results and performances in comparison to the last international break when his side were held to a draw by Uruguay before losing to Japan at Wembley Stadium.
New Zealand, meanwhile, go into the game on the back of a 4-0 loss to Haiti, aiming to get back on track before facing Iran in their opening game of the World Cup.
