Wolves
O'Neil delivered quite the festive present to Wolves supporters in his pre-game press conference, as he revealed that assister-in-chief Pedro Neto (thigh) had enjoyed a full week of team training and should be able to play a part on Sunday, which would be his first appearance since October 28.
Despite spending nearly two months out, Neto still leads the Premier League's assists charts with seven - level with Kieran Trippier and Mohamed Salah - while Jose Sa (shoulder) and Nelson Semedo (illness) ought to be involved too.
However, Joe Hodge is still recovering from a shoulder operation and remains absent for the time being, while Jonny has been banished from the first-team picture until the end of January at least due to a serious training-ground incident.
Wolverhampton Wanderers possible starting lineup:
Sa; Kilman, Toti, Dawson; Semedo, Lemina, Gomes, Bellegarde, Ait-Nouri; Cunha, Hwang
Chelsea
In contrast, Chelsea are still feeling the winter blues when it comes to injuries, as all of Reece James (hamstring), Wesley Fofana (knee), Carney Chukwuemeka (knee), Trevoh Chalobah (thigh), Marc Cucurella (ankle), Robert Sanchez (knee) and Ben Chilwell (thigh) are still missing.
Enzo Fernandez also lasted just 32 minutes of the win over Newcastle, and Pochettino has confirmed that the Argentine will miss this game due to a hernia, while Levi Colwill was taken off at half time due to fatigue but should be OK.
Romeo Lavia (ankle), Lesley Ugochkwu (unspecified) and Noni Madueke (fitness) may all be in contention to feature this weekend too, as the trio have been back in full training this week.
Tuesday's EFL Cup showdown also saw Christopher Nkunku make his long-awaited competitive Chelsea debut, and a Premier League baptism now awaits the Frenchman, but Pochettino may still deem it too soon to throw him into the first XI.
Chelsea possible starting lineup:
Petrovic; Gusto, Silva, Badiashile, Colwill; Caicedo, Gallagher; Sterling, Palmer, Mudryk; Jackson
Prediction: Wolverhampton Wanderers 1-2 Chelsea
