Chelsea host Wolves in the Premier League tonight, with the visitors playing their first match since the sacking of Vitor Pereira.

Wolves visit Stamford Bridge with a caretaker manager as the club aim for their first win of the season, with the visitors yet to earn a win in the league this season as they sit rock bottom of the league with just two points.

However, they visit a Chelsea side who have struggled at times over recent weeks, with the win over Spurs coming between disappointing results against Sunderland and Qarabag.

Enzo Maresca’s side have been plagued by injuries but questions will be asked if the Italian is unable to string together a strong run of results in the next few weeks, with Burnley to come after the international break before crunch matches against Barcelona and Arsenal.

Luckily for the Italian, a match against a struggling Wolves side is the perfect chance to lay foundations for the weeks ahead, though he’ll be wary of the threat from a side that is eager to prove itself after the sacking of another manager.

Here’s everything you need to know.
