Thomas Tuchel has made three changes following our defeat at Everton last weekend and a full week to prepare for today's game.

Christian Pulisic replaces Mason Mount in the attack where he is joined by Timo Werner. The referee is Peter Bankes. The defence is unchanged.

N’Golo Kante and Jorginho will need to be assessed but both players have a chance of featuring in some capacity. Wolves are on course to finish in the top eight but their form has also tailed off. Since exiting the Champions League despite a 3-2 victory over Real Madrid at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu, the Blues have won only two of five Premier League matches.

Here is your Chelsea gambling guide for Premier League game against Wolves, provided by Mike Malley for Pride of London as usual.

I’ll turn it around just as the Blues will turn it around, and it will all begin early on Saturday. The atmosphere at Stamford Bridge has had a tangible effect on the home team’s effort, with the club world champs scoring first in four of their previous six matches in west London. I think I have to back this trend to continue, so I’ll be watching the Chelsea first goal prop at -295 odds. For my final pick, I’m strictly following the odds and actively going against my better judgement by taking Chelsea on the moneyline at -280. Adaptation is certainly part of the gambling game, so I’m adjusting my strategy greatly for the match against Wolves. I’m avoiding the plus juice at all costs and taking extreme betting favorites with all three picks. Additionally, last weekend’s performance against Everton should have taught the European champions that no club in the English top flight can be taken lightly. These past six days really have been rejuvenating following an extremely difficult period for the Blues. Going a full week without playing a match was probably the best thing that could’ve happened to Chelsea. The team had been fighting for meaningful Premier League points or a place in the next round of an important cup competition since the international break at the end of March and sorely needed a rest.

Romelu Lukaku scored twice, but it wasn't enough to earn Chelsea the points against Wolves, who came back to draw 2-2.

Was denied by a fantastic save early in the second period but struggled with his end product after that. FW Romelu Lukaku, 9 -- In the first half, he saw his first shot blocked, missed Kovacic's pass after making a good run, then kept Saiss off before hitting a decent shot that was saved. Capitalised on Wolves' mistake and slipped Lukaku through for the second goal. GK Edouard Mendy, 6 -- Had nothing to do until he made a good save to deny Pedro Neto shortly before half-time, though he could have been punished for pushing the ball back into a dangerous area. MF Reece James, 6 -- Often defended well, making a key header to deny Neto at the back post. His late changes weren't enough to hold on to the three points.

It doesn't affect me, but the news is positive and we need it to be resolved." On Lukaku, Tuchel said: "It was a good performance but for sure this is not the time to praise individual players. I don't know if that was the right decision from me but it was a lack of discipline and execution of the match plan. "I don't think the ownership is a reason for a lack of focus. "I reminded the team to execute the match plan with more precision and we did this to go 2-0 up but then we took more risks. "It is not about dropping too low but about the ball structure and losing it in key positions. Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel: "Of course [it feels like a defeat]. We started both halves very well and controlled the match with a very offensive approach to this game today with a 5-3-2 formation. But it was in between those two chances that Chelsea thought they had found the breakthrough - and Lukaku really ought to have made no mistake. The German was frank, telling his players to "be more exhausted after games" having seen a drop-off in physical input during recent defeats to Arsenal and Everton. In came Romelu Lukaku and Chrsitian Pulisic to the three-pronged attack. Chiquinho just runs at people and causes problems and we know about the quality of Trincao's finishing.The subs were massive for us in getting the point." We've been to Man Utd and Tottenham and won but we feel we should have had all three here but for a mad five minutes.

Chelsea face Wolves this afternoon as they bid to arrest a poor run of form and make sure of a top-four spot in the Premier League.

Two goals early in the second half from the returning Romelu Lukaku looked to have tightened Chelsea's grip on a Champions League qualification slot but to ...

The same player then went for goal again and this time, a deflection favoured Chelsea as the ball rolled just wide of Mendy’s net. The ref, on VAR’s recommendation, went and watched it again and decided a leg had been lifted to impede our centre-forward. It was a good start to the second period. After Kovacic had been dispossessed deep in our opponents’ half, the break ended when substitute Trincao fired in an unstoppable effort. Pulisic quickly found Romelu who wasted no time in hitting the target with a sumptuous low finish. With 33 minutes played, Werner had the ball in the net but the whistle had just blown. Another decision went against the Blues soon after, this time via VAR. After the ball had pinged around following a Chelsea corner and Loftus-Cheek found the net from only inches out, there were two offside checks made. Chelsea were looking by far the more likely side to make a breakthrough with a quarter of the game played. Despite those Chelsea attacks, our opponents could well have gone ahead just before half-time when suddenly we were twice caught lacking numbers at the back as they counter-attacked. Those fears were realised when with 96 minutes on the clock, Conor Coady headed in from close range to turn three precious points for Chelsea into one. The Wolves defender looked to be going down anyway. Having been fouled, Lukaku converted a penalty and then scored in open play two minutes later from a Christian Pulisic pass for his first league goals since December.

The talking points from Chelsea's draw against Wolves as Francisco Trincao and Conor Coady's goals cancelled out Romelu Lukaku's brace.

Beads of sweat would have been on the brow of many when Son Heung-min's goal handed Spurs their lead against Liverpool, and Pierre-Emile Højbjerg's decision to not head the ball towards goal in the dying moments maybe even left some cheering. Even if you accept that Chalobah is not worth a start, it was a surprise to see Cesar Azpilicueta and Reece James swapping positions in the second period. Given a week had been spent on the training pitches, a lot of play did not seem to be flowing naturally, and perhaps Wolves can take some credit for that. However, Chelsea were not in control of the manner of a top team that is in the ascendancy should be. It was a sign that there was a relationship there that could still grow despite the struggles of the season. It wasn't overwhelming from the crowd, but a large number of supporters rose to their feet and clapped, with the 28-year-old returning their applause as he made his way to the sidelines.

The hosts started the second half brightly and were awarded a penalty on 55 minutes when Lukaku was caught by Saiss' trailing leg in the box. The Belgium international then doubled their lead just two minutes later with a 20-yard strike. Chelsea had two goals in the first half disallowed before Lukaku opened the scoring with a second-half penalty to bag his first goal for the club in 2022.
