Wolves
Wolves captain and star midfielder Ruben Neves picked up his 10th yellow card of the season against Nottingham Forest and will now serve a two-match suspension, while defender Jonny Castro will serve the second of his three-match ban this weekend.
Sasa Kalajdzic, Chiquinho (both knee) and Hwang Hee-chan (unspecified) all remain in the treatment room with injuries, but left-back Hugo Bueno recovered from a minor hamstring problem to feature as a substitute last time out and will look to force his way back into the first XI against Chelsea.
After coming off the bench to score last weekend, top scorer Podence – who has netted six times this season – could replace either Joao Moutinho or Mario Lemina in the starting lineup, while former Chelsea striker Diego Costa will battle with Raul Jimenez for a place up front.
Wolverhampton Wanderers possible starting lineup:
Sa; Semedo, Dawson, Kilman, Bueno; Lemina, Neves, Nunes; A. Traore, Jimenez, Podence
Chelsea
As for Chelsea, Cesar Azpilicueta, Thiago Silva and Armando Broja are all nursing knee injuries, while Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is doubtful with a back problem.
Lampard has promised to give everyone in his first-team squad a "clean slate", while he has also labelled Mason Mount a "huge player" for the Blues, and the midfielder could be recalled to centre-midfield to start alongside Enzo Fernandez and N'Golo Kante.
A four-man defence was predominantly used by Lampard during his first stint as Chelsea boss and the same set-up could be deployed on Saturday, with Wesley Fofana, Kalidou Koulibaly and Benoit Badiashile battling to start at centre-back, while Reece James and Ben Chilwell are expected to begin at full-back.
Mykhaylo Mudryk, Raheem Sterling, Noni Madueke and Christian Pulisic, who all began as substitutes against Liverpool, will compete for a place on either flank, and a start for two of these wingers could see either Kai Havertz and Joao Felix drop out of the first XI.
Chelsea possible starting lineup:
Kepa; James, W. Fofana, Badiashile, Chilwell; Kante, Fernandez, Mount; Madueke, Havertz, Sterling
Prediction: Wolverhampton Wanderers 0-1 Chelsea
