How Chelsea could line up in League Cup clash vs Wolves (4-2-3-1) | OneFootball

Chelsea will look to bounce back from last weekend’s shock Premier League defeat when they take on Wolverhampton Wanderers in the League Cup fourth round tonight.

The Blues are one of several Premier League giants looking to book a spot in the quarter finals and will fancy their chances against Wolves.

Enzo Maresca’s troops were on the wrong end of a 2-1 scoreline over the weekend as they lost to newly promoted surprise package Sunderland at Stamford Bridge.

They will be keen to get back to winning ways on Wednesday night, especially with a place in the quarter finals up for grabs.

Maresca’s side ran riot on their last visit to Molineux, picking up a comfortable 6-2 win. The Blues also put six unreplied goals past Wolves the last time they met in this competition.

How Chelsea could line up

Maresca is expected to make sweeping changes to the starting line-up that lost against Sunderland.

The Italian should recall second-choice goalkeeper Filip Jorgensen despite his shaky performances in recent games.

Malo Gusto is back from suspension and should step in for captain Reece James at right back, lining up alongside Wesley Fofana, Trevoh Chalobah and Jorell Hato.

Maresca confirmed in his pre-match press conference that several players need to be rested for their own protection.

Moises Caicedo and Enzo Fernandez are among those who could do with a breather, so Romeo Lavia and Andrey Santos should replace the midfield duo.

Jamie Gittens should come in for Alejandro Garnacho, who got his first Premier League goal against Sunderland.

Facundo Buonanotte may slot into the number ten role while Estevao gets the nod on the right flank ahead of Pedro Neto.

Marc Guiu made his first Premier League start for Chelsea last weekend, but should return to the bench in favour of Tyrique George for tonight’s cup clash.
