Chelsea fans choose the team they want to see at Wolves - including one surprise omission

Chelsea fans have picked the team they want to see against Wolverhampton Wanderers on Saturday, including one surprise omission.

The Blues are back in Premier League action this weekend when they travel to Molineux, looking to get their second victory of the campaign.

Frank Lampard's side had a disappointing 2-2 draw with Sheffield United before the international break, however will be delighted to see some of his key men back from injury.

And Chelsea fans are wanting Antonio Rudiger straight back into the starting centre-back position, playing next to Andreas Christensen and leaving Kurt Zouma and Fikayo Tomori on the side lines.

Meanwhile, N'Golo Kante is set to return and Blues supporters want him straight back into the starting XI to play with Jorginho in the heart of the Chelsea side.

However, fans have surprisingly omitted Mason Mount in the team, instead picking Ruben Loftus-Cheek as the third midfielder to play in the side.

Blue fans are set to be disappointed, though, with Loftus-Cheek still not fit to start and recovering from his Achilles' tendon injury.

Willian gets the nod on  the right wing, with Christian Pulisic on the left, meaning Ross Barkley is also not in the side chosen by Chelsea fans.

Tammy Abraham does lead the line, however, which would mean another substitute place for either Olivier Giroud and Michy Batshuayi.

With the injury to Emerson Palmieri, Marcos Alonso could get his chance to start at left-back, making his first start of the campaign.

It will be a big match for Lampard to get his team back to winning ways and he will be hoping to have several players back from their injuries.
