Chelsea vs Wolves LIVE! Premier League match stream, latest team news, lineups, TV, prediction

Well that’s a heavily-rotated Chelsea side! Seven changes from the side that beat Crystal Palace last week.

Silva is not in the squad at all, presumably rested ahead of the trip to face AC Milan in midweek, while Sterling, James and Aubameyang are among those on the bench. It means chances for Gallagher, Loftus-Cheek, Havertz and Pulisic.

As for Wolves, Costa leads the line for them as expected. No Neto, who is out with injury, so Traore, Podence and Guedes are the three behind the striker.

Wolves XI: Sa, Semedo, Kilman, Gomes, Jonny, Nunes, Moutinho, Traore, Podence, Guedes, Costa.

Subs: Ait Nouri, Hwang, Sarkic, Mosquera, Ronan, Hodge, Bueno, Campbell.

Chelsea XI: Kepa, Azpilicueta, Chalobah, Koulibaly, Cucurella, Gallagher, Jorginho, Loftus-Cheek, Mount, Havertz, Pulisic

Subs: Mendy, Chilwell, James, Chukwuemeka, Kovacic, Sterling, Ziyech, Aubameyang, Broja

All the team news from Stamford Bridge will be out in just over five minutes.

Plenty of options for Potter - will he look to freshen up the squad ahead of a trip to the San Siro in midweek?

‘The Octopus’ is laying in wait at Chelsea, desperate to pounce when his opportunity comes.

Denis Zakaria, the club’s deadline-day loan signing from Juventus, with long legs and a playing style modelled on the powerhouse that was Patrick Vieira, has yet to get on the pitch for the Blues.

When he does, he tells Standard Sport, he will not let the chance pass by him. But, first, he explains his nickname.

“It’s because I have very long legs!” he says. “I win a lot of balls in midfield, so that is why they said octopus. It was funny and it was positive, I hope!”

So Wolves arrive at Stamford Bridge for their first match since the sacking of Bruno Lage.

They’ve scored just three goals in the Premier League so far, with only one of those coming on the road. That was on the opening day of the season.

Pretty tight at the back though, conceding nine goals. That’s the same as Manchester City and Liverpool, and only one more than table-toppers Arsenal.

It’s probably not going to be end-to-end this afternoon!

Graham Potter believes Chelsea must be prepared for the threat posed by Diego Costa during this afternoon’s clash and hopes the ex-Blues striker receives a positive reception at Stamford Bridge.

The Brazilian-born former Spanish international returns to his former home in the Premier League, almost five years after ending his successful stint in west London to return to Atletico Madrid in a £57million transfer.

Costa scored 59 goals in 120 appearances across all competitions for Chelsea after arriving from Los Rojiblancos for £32m in the summer of 2014, winning two Premier League titles and becoming something of a Blues cult hero with his uncompromising style of play and fiery antics.

“We have a lot of respect for him and his career,” Potter told reporters at Cobham on Friday. “He’s at Wolves and he’s going to come and be ready to play. I followed his career from afar and I’ve got a lot of respect for him.”
