Chelsea face Wolves at Stamford Bridge in just over an hour, and the teams are in!
Well we don’t want to blow our own trumpet here, but we called this one 100% in our pre-match predicted lineup.
That means Robert Sanchez in goal, with Reece James dropping to the bench after playing in midweek as well as last weekend. His spot at right back is taken by Malo Gusto.
In the middle of the defence, Trevoh Chalobah and Wesley Fofana look to be making up Enzo Maresca’s preferred pair going forward. Let’s hope they can keep a clean sheet today.
At left back, of course it’s Marc Cucurella.
The middle of the park sees Enzo Fernandez and Moises Caicedo team up, with Joao Pedro playing in a free role ahead of them. Maresca’s preferred pair of wingers out wide, Pedro Neto and Alejandro Garnacho start. Liam Delap starts his first Premier League game since he picked up his injury back in August. He’s got a lot of making up to do.
Lots of fans will be frustrated that Estevao is on the bench once again, but you just know we’ll be seeing him in the second half. By that point we’d hope to have a decent lead. Wolves are not a great side, they’ve got no manager and we need to win this game to get back on track after a poor result midweek.
Here are the full team line-ups for Chelsea vs Wolves (kick off at 20:00 GMT)

In other news…
Moises Caicedo is Chelsea’s key player at the moment, and his impact against Spurs last weekend was just incredible. For one, we think the N’Golo Kante comparisons are apt.
Along with Caicedo, Cole Palmer is one of our best players for a long. Former Chelsea man Geremi spoke about him today, comparing him to Frank Lampard in his pomp.
