Chelsea
Chelsea are set to be without a number of players on Monday, including centre-backs Benoit Badiashile and Wesley Fofana, while Levi Colwill is a doubt.
If Colwill is declared fit, he could be partnered by Trevor Chalobah, who was recalled from his loan with Crystal Palace earlier this week.
Enzo Fernandez and Cole Palmer are also doubts, though it would be surprising if the duo were miss out on starting spots considering how vital they are to the Blues.
Moises Caicedo is almost certain to play in midfield, and he could help support an attack featuring Jadon Sancho, Madueke and Nicolas Jackson.
Chelsea possible starting lineup:
Sanchez; James, Chalobah, Colwill, Cucurella; Fernandez, Caicedo; Madueke, Palmer, Sancho; Jackson
Wolves
Meanwhile, Wolves will not be able to select midfielder Boubacar Traore, so expect Andre and Joao Gomes to partner each other in the centre of the pitch.
Centre-backs Toti Gomes and Yerson Mosquera have been ruled out, and that could mean Matt Doherty, Santiago Bueno and Emmanuel Agbadou will start in a back three.
Elsewhere, winger Enso Gonzalez and striker Sasa Kalajdzic are unavailable, and though Matheus Cunha has been dealing with illness, he is still likely to appear in attack.
Wolverhampton Wanderers possible starting lineup:
Sa; Doherty, Bueno, Agbadou; R Gomes, Andre, J Gomes, Ait-Nouri; Hwang, Cunha; Larsen
Prediction: Chelsea 2-1 Wolverhampton Wanderers
