They have been handed a sympathetic draw, though. Wolves have just two Premier League points to their name so far this season, and head to west London without a manager after Vitor Pereira was sacked following last week’s 3-0 defeat by Fulham.
The Midlands club are yet to appoint a permanent replacement, and thus will be led by academy coaches James Collins and Richard Walker at Stamford Bridge.
The pair have led training since Pereira’s dismissal, and will likely continue to do so for some time amid reports Wolves are prepared to take their time with the hiring process.
