Wolves vs Chelsea: Line-up, EPL prediction and result
Latest EPL standings as well as fixtures and results are found below the predictions.
Chelsea and Wolves kick off a full round of English Premier League fixtures when they meet at Molineux on Tuesday evening.
The master prevailed over the apprentice on Saturday when old Blues boss Carlo Ancelotti taught present incumbent Frank Lampard a lesson to the tune of a 1-0 win for Everton at Goodison Park.
It halted what had been a smart run of form for the fifth-placed Londoners, who would still sneak to the top of the table with victory in the West Midlands, albeit temporarily.
Attacking duo Hakim Ziyech and Callum Hudson-Odoi both continue to watch on from the sidelines and they could be joined by Christian Pulisic, who is nursing a knock.
Lampard will do everything he can to avoid playing Kai Havertz out on the right again, after the German wunderkind flunked his exam on Merseyside last weekend.
Wolves also need to take a deep breath and start again, after local rivals Aston Villa made it back-to-back defeats in their Molineux clash last Saturday.
Nuno Espirito Santo’s side have slid to 13th in the standings going into the festive period.
Joao Moutinho was sent off as the red mist descended on the derby, with the Portuguese midfielder starting his ban.
Raul Jimenez and Jonny are both ruled out through injury, as the home side attempt to cram in some last-minute revision to turn their fortunes around on home turf.
