Wolves
Wolves are expected to be without Rayan Ait-Nouri and Hwang Hee-chan after the duo sustained injuries at Brighton.
Jimenez is likely to replace Hwang, with Francisco Trincao dropping to the substitutes' bench, while Marcal should remain at left wing-back after coming through unscathed on his first start since October 16.
The reminder of the team should stay the same with Joao Moutinho getting the nod over Leander Dendoncker.
Wolverhampton Wanderers possible starting lineup:
Sa; Kilman, Coady, Saiss; Semedo, Neves, Moutinho, Marcal; Traore, Jimenez, Podence
Chelsea
Callum Hudson-Odoi, Timo Werner, Romelu Lukaku will all miss this fixture due to coronavirus, while Tuchel said that Kai Havertz was feeling ill on Thursday.
However, Tuchel can freshen up his side by handing recalls to Trevoh Chalobah and N'Golo Kante, who could replace Cesar Azpilicueta and Ruben Loftus-Cheek respectively.
Andreas Christensen may also get the nod over Thiago Silva, depending on whether Tuchel wishes to manage the Brazilian's minutes over Christmas.
Chelsea possible starting lineup:
Mendy; Chalobah, Silva, Rudiger; James, Kante, Jorginho, Alonso; Mount, Ziyech; Pulisic
Prediction: Wolverhampton Wanderers 0-0 Chelsea
