Wolves vs Chelsea
Premier League 2018-19
Venue: Molineux Stadium, Wolverhampton
Date: Wednesday, December 5, 2018
Kick-off: 7.45pm GMT
Chelsea will be in confident mood in midweek after returning to winning ways as they prepare to face a Wolves side sliding down the table.
Goals from Pedro and Ruben Loftus-Cheek beat a spirited Fulham side on Sunday and the Blues now travel to Molineux to face a Wolves side who have won just one point since September.
Friday's 2-1 loss to Cardiff was their sixth defeat in seven games - only Arsenal have failed to beat them in that run - and they face Liverpool and Tottenham before the end of the year.
