They will feel strangely confident of causing an upset against Chelsea after Thomas Tuchel’s side’s slump continued at home against Everton on Thursday.

A 1-1 draw saw the Blues slip back in the title race while their attacking options have been significantly blunted after Romelu Lukaku, Timo Werner and Callum Hudson-Odoi all tested positive for Covid-19.

When is it and what time is kick-off?

The match will get underway at 2pm on Sunday 19 December at Molineux.
