Callum Hudson-Odoi and Ruben Loftus-Cheek are back on the Chelsea bench vs Wolves despite impressing midweek in the Europa League. 

Hudson-Odoi scored the third against Dynamo Kiev, set up by Loftus-Cheek, in the 3-0 win in the last 16 first leg. 

Meanwhile, Eden Hazard and Gonzalo Higuain return to the starting line-up, both of whom were rested midweek.

The Blues can temporarily move into fourth place above Manchester United and Arsenal. 

While a second game in hand, at a date to be confirmed against Brighton, gives them a chance to move above Tottenham should they win.

Chelsea subs: Caballero , Christensen, Barkley, Loftus-Cheek, Hudson-Odoi, Willian, Giroud
