Liam Rosenior hoping to get back to form after midweek defeat by Arsenal
Chelsea will look to get back to winning ways this weekend as they visit Wolves in the Premier League.
The Blues have won six of their eight matches since Liam Rosenior stepped in, with two losses coming at the hands of Arsenal in both legs of the Carabao Cup semi-final.
The most recent of those came on Tuesday night after a hard-to-swallow winner from ex-Blue Kai Havertz.
Rosenior experimented with a new tactical setup for that midweek fixture which did not quite click and it remains to be seen what shape he will employ in the Midlands, especially with Reece James’ availability in doubt.
Wolves, meanwhile, remain on the floor of the top flight, their five-match January unbeaten run now a distant memory.

Wolves vs Chelsea is scheduled for a 3pm GMT kick-off on Saturday, February 7, 2026.
The match will take place at Molineux Stadium in Wolverhampton.
TV channel: In the UK, the game will not be televised live as it lands during the 3pm Saturday blackout.
Free highlights: The Sky Sports app and YouTube channel will show highlights from 5.15pm with Match of the Day broadcasting on BBC One at 10.25pm.
Live blog: You can follow all the action on matchday via Standard Sport’s live blog, with expert analysis from Dom Smith at the ground.
The headline team news for this tie is that Reece James may miss out with a knock. That saw him left out for the trip to Arsenal, but Rosenior seems optimistic that he can play a part against Wolves.
The exact same is true of Pedro Neto, who was also a surprise omission against Arsenal.
Filip Jorgensen and Tosin Adarabioyo are both hoping to return to the side at Molineux, while Dario Essugo, Romeo Lavia and Levi Colwill are out with long-term injuries.

Rob Edwards will have nearly a full complement to choose from, with just two first-teamers out. One is Toti Gomes, who is recovering from a thigh injury, while Ladislav Krejci has been ill.
Angel Gomes, meanwhile, could debut after joining on loan from Marseille.
After a brief New Year’s resurgence, Wolves’ dismal campaign has picked up where it left off.
Now winless in four, they are 18 points adrift of safety with 14 matches to play.
Chelsea, meanwhile, are pushing for the Champions League places and generally impressing as they do so.
Facing a Wolves side with little left to play for beyond pride, Chelsea should fancy their chances.
Chelsea to win, 3-0.
Chelsea have won each of their last four meetings with Wolves, scoring 16 goals in the process.
Wolves wins: 39
Chelsea wins: 38
Draws: 26
