Wolves vs Chelsea lineups: Confirmed team news and starting XIs

Frank Lampard welcomes back Antonio Rudiger for Chelsea's trip to Wolves this weekend, but N'Golo Kante remains sidelined.

Germany international Rudiger, who has been out since April with a knee injury, starts to boost the defence.

Pedro has recovered from a hamstring issue and is on the bench, while Mateo Kovacic is also fit for Lampard's side - but Kante (ankle) remains sidelined.

Wolves are without suspended defender Willy Boly when they mark 130 years of playing at Molineux against Chelsea on Saturday.

Boly was sent off in the defeat at Everton before the international break and he must serve a one-match ban.

Starting lineups

Wolves: Rui Patricio, Traore, Vallejo, Coady, Dendoncker, Jonny, Joao Moutinho, Neves, Saiss, Jota, Jimenez

Subs: Doherty, Pedro Neto, Cutrone, Gibbs-White, Ruddy, Ruben Vinagre, Kilman

Chelsea: Arrizabalaga, Christensen, Rudiger, Tomori, Azpilicueta, Mount, Jorginho, Kovacic, Alonso, Willian, Abraham

Subs: Barkley, Pedro, Caballero, Zouma, Giroud, Pulisic, Batshuayi
