Chelsea head coach Thomas Tuchel says that his side have "a big task" on their hands when they face Wolverhampton Wanderers on Sunday afternoon.

Chelsea head coach Thomas Tuchel has suggested that he has been impressed with how Wolverhampton Wanderers have performed under Bruno Lage this season.

Despite their lack of goals, Wolves have impressed in defence, possessing the fourth-best defensive record after conceding just 14 goals from 17 matches.

The West Midlands outfit currently sit in eighth position after a slow start to the campaign, and Tuchel has admitted that he is anticipating a tough contest at Molineux on Sunday afternoon.

Speaking to reporters, Tuchel said: "They had a rough start to the season and recovered from there. They are very disciplined with a clear structure, very hard to break down the defensive line, very hard to create chances so it is a big task for us.

"We will focus on it from tomorrow. Before training, we will have a meeting and be well prepared, because we need to be well prepared. As you say, they had very good performances, had a very late goal against them against Liverpool, and had a deserved win at Brighton, so it will be a tough one."

Tuchel started his reign at Stamford Bridge in January against Wolves, the Blues being held to a goalless draw.
