Kick off!

…and we are underway!

Chelsea vs Wolves – Starting XI

Well that’s a heavily-rotated Chelsea side! Seven changes from the side that beat Crystal Palace last week.

Silva is not in the squad at all, presumably rested ahead of the trip to face AC Milan in midweek, while Sterling, James and Aubameyang are among those on the bench. It means chances for Gallagher, Loftus-Cheek, Havertz and Pulisic.

As for Wolves, Costa leads the line for them as expected. No Neto, who is out with injury, so Traore, Podence and Guedes are the three behind the striker.
