Wolves vs Chelsea: Confirmed team news for Premier League clash

Chelsea take on Wolves in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon and the confirmed team news is in from Molineux.

Mauricio Pochettino’s side are hoping to give the Chelsea supporters an early Christmas gift as they head to Wolves on Christmas Eve looking to claim three wins in a row in all competitions.

A win over Sheffield United was backed up with Carabao Cup progression into the semi-finals after a penalty shootout win over Newcastle United on Tuesday night at Stamford Bridge, courtesy of Mykhailo Mudryk’s stoppage time equaliser.

Enzo Fernandez misses the trip to Wolves due to illness and a hernia problem, Pochettino confirmed pre-match, while Reece James underwent hamstring surgery this week which will leave him sidelined for several month.

The Premier League clash will get underway at 1pm (UK time) and will be available to watch live on Sky Sports in the United Kingdom.
