Thomas Tuchel has made a remarkable start as the new manager of Chelsea as they fight for a place in next season's Champions League and remain in the FA Cup and Champions League.

Since the Blues fired Frank Lampard and hired the German coach in January, he has overseen 14 matches – and not a single defeat.

The last result, a 2-0 win against Sheffield saw Chelsea advance to the semi-finals of the FA Cup, where they will be up against Manchester City on April 17.

It has been a demanding schedule for 47-year-old Tuchel in his first months, and that will continue until the end of the season as the fixtures pile up in the Premier League and the Champions League, in which the Blues will play Porto for a place in the last four.

His next test will be at Stamford Bridge on Saturday when West Bromwich Albion visit in the Premier League as the Blues bid to cement their place in the top four.
