Wolves and Chelsea are set to clash in the second round of Premier League fixtures at Molineux.
Both teams are looking to bounce back from defeats in their opening matches – Wolves lost 2-0 to Arsenal, while Chelsea suffered the same scoreline against Manchester City.
Enzo Maresca’s side secured a 2-0 victory over Servette in the UEFA Conference League playoff first leg, presenting some selection dilemmas for the manager.
Here’s a look at how both teams are expected to line up.
Predicted Lineups and Team News
Wolves are likely to stick with goalkeeper Jose Sa due to ongoing negotiations for Aaron Ramsdale from Arsenal. Daniel Podence and Matheus Cunha may start this time after being on the bench in the previous game.
Wolves predicted XI (4-4-2): Sa (GK) – Doherty, Mosquera, Toti, Ait-Nouri – Bellegarde, Lemina, Joao Gomes, Podence – Hwang, Cunha.
Injured: Leon Chiwone, Enso Gonzalez, Sasa Kalajdzic

Chelsea’s lineup might see a change in goal between Robert Sanchez and new signing Filip Jorgensen. Christopher Nkunku is in good form, but his recent injury concerns could influence Maresca’s decisions.
New signing Joao Felix and forward Pedro Neto provide attacking options for Chelsea, while Cole Palmer is expected to recover from his minor injury.
Chelsea predicted XI (4-3-3): Jorgensen (GK) – Gusto, Fofana, Colwill, Cucurella – Fernandez, Lavia, Dewsbury-Hall – Palmer, Jackson, Neto.
