In what is becoming quite common these days, we have an 8:00pm GMT kick-off to wrap up Saturday’s Premier League action.
Chelsea welcome managerless Wolverhampton Wanderers to Stamford Bridge – although the visitors may not be leaderless for much longer as they inch closer to appointing Rob Edwards as head coach.
The Blues can jump from eighth to second place tonight with a win. Wolves, eight points adrift of safety, remain 20th regardless of the result.
TEAM NEWS
Comparing Chelsea’s line-up in midweek, there are eight changes for the hosts.
But as a better indicator, this is more or less the same team that Enzo Maresca sent to Tottenham Hotspur last weekend – with one exception.
Ree James drops to the bench after two 90-minute run-outs in the past week, so comes in Liam Delap.
Delap starts in his first match since August, after being sidelined due to injury and suspension.
A recall for the former Ipswich Town striker is likely to happen João Pedro fall into the ’10’ role, with Enzo Fernandez moved further back into midfield, where James operated in Gameweek 10.
Estevao is again among the replacements, just like the budget-friendly one Josh Acheampong And Marco Guiu
As for the visitors, interim boss James Collins is putting his own stamp on the side by making four changes.
Joao Gomes, Andre, Hwang Hee-Chan And Jackson Tchatchoua come aside, with Marshall Munet, John Arias And Ki-Jana Hoever fall on the couch.
Emmanuel Agbadou has been suspended.
