In a mid-table clash in the Premier League, a resurrected Chelsea side travel to the Molineux to face Wolves.
Wolves were thumped 3-0 in their previous match against West Ham United and the fixture against Chelsea could be another challenging task for them. With 19 points from 17 games, the home side have struggled this season but a win here could see them go level on points with their opposition.
The Blues earned a spot in the EFL Cup semi-finals and Pochettino's men have looked to have finally found the groove. Chelsea are at the equator in the Premier League and a win against Wolves would give them massive confidence ahead in the season.
