LIVESTREAM: Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Chelsea FC | HD English Commentary | FULL MATCH STREAM
The Blues travel to Molineux seeking a seventh win in nine games, with a pair of Carabao Cup semi-final losses the only blemishes on their record so far under Liam Rosenior. The new boss has experimented with his line-up in recent outings, but questions marks over the fitness of key players including Reece James mean Chelsea return to a more familiar formation today.
The west Londoners are in a close-fought battle for the top four at the moment, with rivals Manchester United beating Tottenham in the early Premier League kick-off while Liverpool face title hopefuls Manchester City on Sunday, making a statement win against the division’s bottom side more or less a necessity. Wolves, though, have tightened up at the back under Rob Edwards in recent weeks, managing to frustrate Arsenal and Liverpool in narrow losses before holding United and Newcastle to stalemates.
Team news: Two changes for Chelsea, two debuts for Wolves
Two changes for Chelsea, then, as Pedro Neto and Cole Palmer replace Liam Delap and Jorrel Hato in the side that started the midweek Carabao Cup loss to Arsenal.
Those aren’t like for like replacements, of course, so it looks like a change of shape back to a 4-2-3-1 for Liam Rosenior’s side.
Reece James has failed a late fitness test, after missing the midweek defeat, but Neto is evidently ready to return.
As for Wolves, Rob Edwards hands debuts to Deadline Day signings Adam Armstrong and Angel Gomes and recalls veteran backlinesman Matt Doherty.
