Chelsea are starting to find their rhythm under new manager Graham Potter. The Blues have not lost a game since he took over following the sacking of Thomas Tuchel. This includes an impressive 3-0 over AC Milan on Wednesday during which right-back Reese James was in particularly sparkling form. However, there are fitness concerns over big money summer signing Wesley Fofana.
Wolves, on the hand, do not have a permanent manager in place following the sacking of Bruno Lage. The Portuguese was relieved of his duties at the club after a succession of poor results and performances, culminating in a 0-2 defeat against West Ham last time out. Wolves have only scored three goals this season and are the lowest scorers in English football. They have also claimed just 1 win in their last 15 Premier League games. Despite this, it will not be a straightforward task for the home team, who have dropped eight points from winning positions in games against Wolves since 2018.
The Chelsea vs Wolves live stream will be Potter’s first Premier League game in front of home fans in his new role. The visitors want Julien Lopetegui to take over from Lage. He was sacked by Sevilla this week but it will be a tough ask to have him in place by kick-off on Saturday.
There will though be a familiar face at Stamford Bridge.. Diego Costa made 89 appearances for the West London side between 2014 and 2017, scoring 52 goals. The combative and controversial striker signed for The Wanderers last month, having become a free agent.
Here's how they line up:
Chelsea: Kepa, Jorginho, Pulisic, Loftus-Cheek, Chalobah, Mount, Gallagher, Koulibaly, Azpilacueta, Havertz, Cucurella
Wolves: Sa, Podence, Guedes, Jonny, Semedo, Kilman, Toti, Nunes, Moutinho, Costa, Traore
The last three meetings between these sides have ended in draws. Will one team walk away with three points on this occasion? Find out by watching the Chelsea vs Wolves live stream.

Using a VPN is incredibly simple.
1. Install the VPN of your choice. As we've said, ExpressVPN is our favorite.
2. Choose the location you wish to connect to in the VPN app. For instance if you're in the U.K. and want to view a U.S. service, you'd select U.S. from the list.
