Chelsea welcome Wolves to Stamford Bridge on Wednesday evening as they look to end what has been a disappointing run of form in the Premier League.
The Blues have won just two of their last eight league matches and Monday saw them part ways with manager Frank Lampard after 18 months in charge.
Wolves are also on a poor run, with the Black Country outfit winless in their last six matches in the English top-flight and only able to edge past Chorley 1-0 in the FA Cup at the weekend.
