Chelsea predicted lineup vs Wolves (4-2-3-1)
GK: Robert Sanchez – Despite regular mistakes, Sanchez seemingly still has the backing of Maresca. The Spaniard’s distribution was questionable yet again during the 2-2 draw with Bournemouth midweek. He was beaten too easily at his near post by Antoine Semenyo.
RB: Reece James – The Cobham graduate rescued Chelsea with a 95th-minute free kick on Tuesday evening and could be in line for a first Premier League start since the draw at Old Trafford in early November.
CB: Trevoh Chalobah – Having been recalled from his loan spell at Crystal Palace, Chalobah could be immediately chucked into the starting lineup against Wolves. Benoit Badiashile and Wesley Fofana are injured, Tosin Adarabioyo is out of favour and Josh Acheampong struggled against Bournemouth.
CB: Levi Colwill – Despite being a doubt for Monday, Colwill should feature if remotely fit given Chelsea’s centre-back woes. The likes of Adarabioyo and the versatile Renato Veiga can replace him if needed.
LB: Marc Cucurella
The Spaniard was at the heart of controversy involving Bournemouth’s David Brooks on Tuesday and will be keen for a less eventful evening against Wolves.
DM: Moises Caicedo – Caicedo was initially used at right-back against Bournemouth. But was restored to defensive midfield during the second half. That’s where he should start on Monday against his South American counterparts Joao Gomes and Andre.
DM: Enzo Fernandez – While also a doubt for Monday, Fernandez will need given the absence of Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall and question marks over Lavia’s fitness.
RW: Pedro Neto – Noni Madueke scored a hat-trick in the fixture earlier in the season. But it could former Wolves star Neto. Who is given the nod. The energetic Portuguese has impress when called upon since his summer switch.
AM: Cole Palmer
Palmer will assess closer to kick-off after receiving some rough treatment from Bournemouth midweek. He’s another who will guaranteed a starting berth if deemed fit enough to feature.
