After a quiet transfer deadline day and rather subdued January transfer window in total, Chelsea return to action in the fourth round of the FA Cup this weekend.
The two-week international break has seen a pause in the domestic calendar following a hectic Christmas period, and the Blues, who will soon depart for the Club World Cup, now welcome League One side Plymouth to Stamford Bridge as they pursue another trophy under Tuchel.
The FA Cup has been a lucrative competition for Chelsea, making the final in four of the last five years and winning the trophy eight times in total, six of which have come since the turn of the century.
And now they will look to further their recent success against a team currently sitting seventh in League One, three points behind the playoff positions.
Christian Pulisic and Thiago Silva have both featured for their international teams during the break, meaning Thomas Tuchel may choose to rest them following lengthy travel, while Chelsea could welcome Edouard Mendy back into the fold, with his Senegal side set to face Burkina Faso in the Africa Cup of Nations semi-final later today.
Plymouth, meanwhile, enter the match with a relatively clean bill of health, with only left-back Brendan Galloway out through injury.
Top scorer Ryan Hardie, key attacking player Danny Mayor and holding midfielder Jordan Houghton all returned to the squad in the weekend's win against Doncaster Rovers.
