Wolves v Chelsea: match preview

Wolves v Chelsea
Wolves v Chelsea: probable starters in bold, contenders in light Illustration: Guardian

Thomas Tuchel is growing frustrated at the wastefulness that has cost Chelsea ground in the title race so he will hope his side find their shooting boots as they go up against a Wolves defence that do not give away many chances. Wolves, who themselves have been often guilty of bad finishing this season, will give a Chelsea a good test. And given how stretched Wolves’ small squad is, Chelsea’s injury problems will offer no excuse if the result does not go the visitors’ way. Paul Doyle
