Wolves vs Chelsea – Predicted lineup and team news

Wolves host Chelsea at Molineux on Saturday while they aim to spark a dramatic escape from relegation.

The hosts have moved into a desperate position at the bottom of the Premier League table. Manager Rob Edwards oversees a side that has gained just eight points all season. Wolves recently lost 2–0 at home to Bournemouth, marking their second consecutive defeat. However, they have shown resilience against top teams, holding Newcastle to a 0–0 draw last month. A victory today is vital to close the 18-point gap to safety.

Wolves Team News

Rob Edwards manages a thinned squad following significant departures during the January transfer window. Notably, captain Toti Gomes remains sidelined with a persistent hamstring injury. Consequently, Ladislav Krejčí is expected to step into the back three alongside Yerson Mosquera. The club is also excited to hand debuts to Angel Gomes and Adam Armstrong. Armstrong arrived from Southampton to replace the departed Jørgen Strand Larsen.

José Sá will start in goal, hoping to improve a home record of just one win this term. In midfield, João Gomes and André will provide the defensive grit required against Chelsea’s attack. Hugo Bueno and Jaka Tchatchoua will operate as wing-backs. Hwang Hee-chan will partner Armstrong upfront as Wolves look to break a ten-game home second-half goal drought.
