Chelsea can finish this long weekend back in fourth with a win against relegation-battling Wolverhampton Wanderers, but to do that, we do need to break our five-match winless streak in the league. Unfortunately, the opposition faced during that run hasn’t been the toughest, so we’re going to have to really get our acts together today.

Due to injuries and such, Enzo Maresca has had to call on a few names from the B-squad today, but Palmer has been passed fit and starts. Enzo, Lavia, and Colwill do all miss out, with Dewsbury-Hall and Trevoh Chalobah coming in. Welcome back, Trev!

Here we go!
