Chelsea fixtures: How will Tuchel approach the Premier League points table?

After playing out a frustrating goalless draw against Wolves, Chelsea are currently slotted 8th in the league. The Blues of London have managed to register only 30 points in the Premier League so far.  The Londoners managed to create a few half-chances in their previous outing especially in the first half but could not covert them as the match ended in a draw. Despite dominating possession, the blues lacked the decisive edge to move past their opponents, and these were the same problems that led to Lampard’s sacking. Now with Tuchel at the helm, it will be interesting to see how the German manager approaches the second half of the ongoing Premier League campaign.
