Wolves to cause Chelsea defensive problems

The visitors face an in-form front three at Molineux today.

Sarabia, Hwang and Cunha are all on top of their game currently.

Hwang has scored six goals at home this season, only Mohamed Salah has scored more goals in the Premier League at home.

No love lost for game technology

Having been harshly dealt with this season, Wolves fans have the chance to wear some club shirts that air their thoughts.

The season started with them not being awarded a stonewall penalty at Old Trafford and has spiralled from there.

Wolves will be hoping to take potential to cost them more points today out of their hands by beating Chelsea.

Wolves are looking to win back to back games against Chelsea for the first time since 1975.

The Blues are winless in their last three visits to Molineux.

Gary O’Neil’s side are unbeaten at Molineux for six games, winning three and drawing three.

Chelsea subs:

13. Bettinelli, 47. Bergstrom, 5. Badiashile, 29. Maatsen, 45. Lavia, 52. Matos, 11. Madueke, 10. Mudryk, 18. Nkunku

Chelsea team news from the ground

No sign of Moises Caicedo in the Chelsea squad, no doubt we’ll find out more about that later although it is thought he is unavailable.

There is no place in the starting line-up for Christopher Nkunku even though he made his first Chelsea appearance off the bench against Newcastle in midweek.

Nkunku has recovered from the knee injury that has kept him out all season,  but it would be no surprise if he gets a Premier League debut today.

Enzo Fernandez is also out so Lesley Ugochukwu comes back into the team.

Romeo Lavia is in the squad after Chelsea spent £58million on the 19-year-old. He could get a debut even though boss Mauricio Pochettino said he would have to wait for his chance.

Chelsea starting XI:

Romeo Lavia and Christopher Nkunku make the bench for The Blues today, with both players yet to make their full debuts for the club.

28. Petrovic, 27. Gusto, 2. Disasi, 6. Thiago Silva, 26. Colwill, 16. Ugochukwu, 23. Gallagher, 7. Sterling, 20. Palmer, 15. Jackson, 19. Broja
