Enzo Maresca is set to welcome Liam Delap back into the squad to face Wolves. The forward has been out since August due to a hamstring injury but Maresca has confirmed Delap is ‘available’ after training this week. The 22-year-old’s return is a big boost to Chelsea, with fellow forward Joao Pedro struggling for goals in recent weeks.

In terms of absences, Levi Colwill and Dario Essugo are long-term issues, while no timeframe has been put on Cole Palmer’s return from a groin issue. Benoit Badiashile is also in the treatment room, and Mykhaylo Mudryk remains indefinitely suspended.

Marc Guiu is eligible to play despite representing Sunderland in earlier rounds. It follows a rule change made this season.
