Chelsea welcome a struggling Wolves side to Stamford Bridge on Saturday in the Premier League with the home side looking for another win in light of their rich vein of form.
The west Londoners picked up a 2-1 win over Crystal Palace in league action last weekend while Wolves failed to escape their poor run of results with a 2-0 loss at West Ham United in a game that cost Bruno Lage his job as the manager.
Graham Potter’s men, following their triumph over Palace thanks to a 90th-minute wonder of a strike from Conor Gallagher, put out a solid display in a 3-0 win against Italian champions AC Milan midweek in the Champions League group stage fixture on home turf.
Sitting in fifth position in the league standings, Chelsea have been firing on all fronts under the newly appointed Potter who would be hoping for his players to continue their winning ways this weekend against Wolves.
WHEN AND WHERE?
Date – Saturday 8 October 2022

TEAM NEWS
Summer signing Wesley Fofana is also out with the knee niggle that he picked up in the win over AC Milan on Wednesday evening which could open the door for Trevoh Chalobah’s entry into the XI.
Chelsea will again be without the services of midfield anchorman N’Golo Kante on Saturday with the Frenchman’s fitness levels expected to be assessed carefully by the medical team.
Jorginho and Marc Cucurella are expected to be involved in Saturday’s contest at the Bridge after being benched for the midweek outing.

Chelsea are strong favourites to claim the three points from the upcoming game as they take on an under-fire Wolves outfit.
