Trevoh Chalobah decision, Cole Palmer replacement - Predicted Chelsea line-up vs Wolves
Chelsea take on Wolves this evening in the Premier League and football.london looks at the Blues' XI Enzo Maresca may choose in what has turned into a crucial match
Chelsea host Wolves this evening as the Blues look to end their five-match run without a win in the Premier League.
Three draws and two defeats in the west Londoners' last five matches have seen supporters become increasingly frustrated. The performance levels from Chelsea have remained strong - for the most part - but the Blues have scored just four goals from their last 85 shots in the top-flight.
Enzo Maresca has been tasked with trying to find a solution, but to somehow snap his fingers and expect his team to return to the deadly version of themselves that we witnessed earlier in the season seems unrealistic. And, at the worst possible time, Maresca finds himself with multiple injuries.
The Blues' head coach said on Friday that Cole Palmer, Levi Colwill, Enzo Fernandez and Romeo Lavia are all doubts for tonight's match. So, what will Maresca do if all four are missing? Below, football.london takes a look at the personnel that might well be on show at Stamford Bridge.
GK: Robert Sanchez
Sanchez is expected to remain in goal for the Blues. Some shaky moments with his feet, which seems to be a common theme this season, against Bournemouth last Tuesday.

Could we see a first Premier League start for the captain in over two months? James scored the equalising goal against Bournemouth with a fine free-kick and Maresca may well call on the skipper from the start this evening.

With Colwill a doubt, something may have to be changed in the centre of defence. I could be wrong, but it feels like throwing Trevoh Chalobah straight back into the XI days after being recalled is unlikely. Therefore we may see Tosin recalled to the line-up.

Acheampong has started back-to-back Premier League games for the first time as a Chelsea player. He found it a bit more difficult against Bournemouth but the 18-year-old's performances have largely offered encouragement thus far.

It seems a no-brainer to start Cucurella, really. The Spaniard has been in great form for Chelsea this season and has been a mainstay on the left-hand side of defence for the Blues.
