Wolves vs. Chelsea lineups, predicted starting 11, team news
While Wolves are hoping to sign Aaron Ramsdale from Arsenal, that is yet to go through yet and Jose Sa will start in goal.
Daniel Podence and Matheus Cunha were only fit enough to start from the bench at the Emirates but could now make a start.
Wolves predicted XI (4-4-2 right to left): Sa (GK) — Doherty, Mosquera, Toti, Ait-Nouri — Bellegarde, Lemina, Joao Gomes, Podence — Hwang, Cunha.
Injured: Daniel Podence, Leon Chiwone, Enso Gonzalez, Sasa Kalajdzic
Suspended: Nelson Semedo
After a fairly poor start vs. City in between the sticks for Robert Sanchez, new goalkeeper signing Filip Jorgensen could come in and start.
It feels as though you'd be better off using a random name generator to decide Chelsea's starting XI this season with even more signings but the staples like Cole Palmer, Enzo Fernandez and Marc Cucurella should all start.
Club captain Reece James remains both injured and suspended for this match.
Chelsea predicted (Formation, right to left): Jorgensen (GK) — Gusto, Badiashile, Veiga, Cucurella — Fernandez, Lavia — Palmer, Dewsbury-Hall, Neto — Jackson.
Injured: Reece James
Suspended: Reece James
