Chelsea do not have long to get things sorted in order to try and get back to winning ways in the Premier League.

After the damning defeat against Liverpool earlier this week, the Blues will be keen to prove they are not on a downwards spiral as the second half of the season continues.

Mauricio Pochettino will have some players back even fitter after they have begun to make their returns from injury in the last couple of games.

Here’s The Chelsea Chronicle’s predicted XI for Chelsea to face Wolves at Stamford Bridge.

GK and Defence

Djordje Petrovic was arguably man of the match for the Blues despite conceding four goals, and will continue in goal on Sunday.

Malo Gusto brought a breath of fresh air off the bench and will start at right-back again against Wolves.

Despite being 39, the presence of Thiago Silva is still absolutely essential for the Blues, and he will start again.

Midfield

Moises Caicedo will continue being an important player for the Blues in the middle of the park on Sunday.

He will again be partnered by Enzo Fernandez, who continues to hunt for his best form again in West London.

Ahead of those two, Conor Gallagher will feature after not being sold by the club during the January transfer window.

Raheem Sterling struggled against his former club on Wednesday, however will be given another chance to impress against Wolves.

On the opposite side, Cole Palmer will look to be far more involved than he was earlier this week against the Reds.

Up front, Christopher Nkunku will make his second start of the season, fresh off his goal at Anfield last time out.
