A new era begins at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday night as Thomas Tuchel takes charge of Chelsea for the first time as they host Wolves.
It will be a tough assignment for the Blues, who lost 2-1 in the reverse fixture in December, which was the second successive loss that contributed to Frank Lampard's ouster.
