Pereira has lost his only previous meeting with Chelsea, but Wolves have a relatively strong recent record against the Blues. While they conceded nine across two defeats last season, they have won three of their last five clashes with the west London giants. They desperately need another positive result on Wednesday night.

Chelsea comes in as the clear favorite after a positive run of victories, including a resounding win in the Champions League. The London team will look to capitalize on their squad depth and high offensive capability (having scored 12 goals in their last five matches) to secure a spot in the quarterfinals, likely with some squad rotations.

Wolves lost at home to Burnley on Sunday to extend their winless start to the Premier League season with coach Vitor Pereira then arguing with fans after the final whistle. Under-pressure Pereira has taken the bold step of changing all 11 players that underperformed against Burnley.
