Chelsea FC will hope to get their stuttering campaign going again as they welcome struggling Wolves to Stamford Bridge.
Hopes of a title push have faded in recent weeks with Enzo Maresca’s side desperately short of form in a run of five Premier League games without a win.
They will climb back into the top four with a home victory over a visiting team looking to get back on track themselves.
The immediate upturn in fortunes brought about by Vitor Pereira’s arrival has been brought to an end by back-to-back 3-0 defeats, leaving Wolves level on points with 18th-placed Ipswich.
Here’s everything you need to know.
Chelsea vs Wolves is due to kick off at 8pm GMT on Monday 20 January at Stamford Bridge.
Viewers in the United Kingdom can watch the match live on Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports Premier League, with coverage on the channels from 6.30pm. A live stream will be available via Sky Go.
Levi Colwill is a doubt for Chelsea, who are also without defenders Benoit Badiashile and Wesley Fofana. Trevoh Chalobah has been recalled from his loan at Crystal Palace to bolster Enzo Maresca’s options in the back four. Enzo Fernandez and Cole Palmer should overcome issues to start.
Mario Lemina has apologised to Vitor Pereira and said he is willing to play having asked not to be considered last week as speculation grows over his future. He may miss out anyway.
Chelsea XI: Sanchez; Caicedo, Tosin, Colwill, Cucurella; Fernandez, Lavia; Madueke, Palmer, Sancho; Jackson.
Wolves XI: Sa; Doherty, Bueno, Agbadou; R Gomes, Andre, J Gomes, Ait-Nouri; Hwang, Cunha; Larsen.
Chelsea win 5/12
Draw 9/2
Wolves win 13/2
