Wolves Form

Wolves' recent form has been poor, but a 1-0 win at Brighton last time out ended a four-game winless run for Bruno Lage’s team.

They had previously suffered two straight 1-0 defeats against the league’s top two Liverpool and Manchester City.

Wolves Team News

Wolves look set to be without defensive duo Jonny and Yerson Mosquera. Neto is also sidelined through injury, while Hee-Chan Hwang and Rayan Ait Nouri are fitness doubts.

Chelsea Form

The Blues' form has slipped of late to slip four points behind Premier League leaders Manchester City.

A 1-1 draw against a severely weakened Everton team last time out means that Thomas Tuchel’s team have won just one of their last four games in all competitions.

Ben Chilwell is injured, while Kai Havertz, Mateo Kovacic, Callum Hudson-Odoi, Romelu Lukaku and Timo Werner are fitness doubts.
