Wolverhampton Wanderers get their Championship campaign underway against Blackburn Rovers on Friday night.
A hugely disappointing campaign saw the Old Gold finish rock bottom of the Premier League with just 20 points, condemning them to Championship football for the first time since the 2017/18 season.
New head coach Cesar Peixoto steps into the Molineux dugout as something of an unknown quantity, and the Portuguese will thankful his first game sees his side take on a Blackburn Rovers outfit who may well be in for a long and arduous campaign.

Best Bet: Yerson Mosquera to commit 2+ fouls @ 2/1
Wolves are odds-on favourites to get off to a winning start on Friday night, and Jake Osgathorpe is looking at the player fouls market.
Wolves v Blackburn Prediction
Best Bet: Yerson Mosquera to commit 2+ fouls @ 2/1
"A personal favourite of mine, Yerson Mosquera, the man's an absolute lunatic, I love him to pieces," said Jake. "He's a loose cannon to say the least. He collected cards like they were trophies last season: 11in 27 so he was extremely successful.
"But I am slightly wary that if this turns into a bit of a one-sided game, which I think it could do, the referee might keep his cards in his pocket, so I'm going to take Mosquera to commit to commit two or more fouls.
"He averaged 1.43 fouls per 90 last season and picked up where he left off against Port Vale, a League Two team, committing three fouls.
"All told, this bet has landed in 14 of his last 29 starts for Wolves and I do think the game dynamic will help this bet as well with Wolves playing more on the front foot with Blackburn sitting deep and having to counter attack and I can just see Mosquera picking up a few niggly fouls to stop them transition, and hopefully he doesn't get booked for the first one."
