Trincao has been superb since coming on - so composed in the box, looks set to get his second.... 70 mins: Sa makes a bit of a mess of a ball over the top, Werner can get on the end of it. Timo Werner did have the ball in the net for the Blues after a smart finish, only for the referee’s whistle to go for the slightest of shoves on Saiss from the German. Romain Saiss should have put Wolves ahead when unmarked in the box from a free-kick, but sent his header into the ground and over the bar.

Although still mathematically not yet relegated, as Hodgson conceded, in all likelihood they will be down by the end of Saturday’s game. It will not be the same when he walks away from Watford. And Hodgson admitted there may well be some bemusement in the stands at his return in charge of someone else. It lasted just eight months: after walking away for the final time from Crystal Palace last May, he was back in the dugout at Watford in January. This week, at the age of 74, he once again declared his intention to pack it all in. But there is another curtain closing at the other end of the table. The situation is coming from big knockout matches, a busy schedule and going back to the league to play for points. It surely effects the team but I cannot say to which degree. With four games left, Arsenal (63) and Tottenham Hotspur (61) are closing in as the three teams vie for two Champions League spots. Chelsea have looked a bit predictable at times and been somewhat sluggish. Zaha netted off the bench at Southampton last weekend and earns a recall alongside Jack Butland, Will Hughes, Michael Olise and Odsonne Edouard. Chelsea are really on the ropes here! He could've pulled the trigger earlier, but he tries to chop back inside again and he only wins a corner.

Chelsea welcome Wolves at Stamford Bridge this afternoon as they look to end their Premier League slump.Thomas Tuchel's side have only won two of thei.

- Wolves are winless in their last eight away league games against Chelsea (D3 L5), since a 2-1 win in March 1979. - Only bottom side Norwich (19) have failed to score in more different Premier League games than Wolves (16) this season. In fact, the Blues have conceded before half-time in just one of their last 13 Premier League games, doing so twice in their eventual 4-2 defeat to Arsenal. They’ve not lost four consecutive league games without scoring a single goal since March-April 1970 in the top-flight. - Mason Mount is Chelsea’s highest scorer (10) and assister (9) in the Premier League this season, with only Mohamed Salah registering double figures for both goals and assists so far this term. And it doesn’t matter if we are in a race for top four, the last four games is not enough.

Thomas Tuchel has made three changes following our defeat at Everton last weekend and a full week to prepare for today's game.

Christian Pulisic replaces Mason Mount in the attack where he is joined by Timo Werner. The referee is Peter Bankes. The defence is unchanged.

It's been quite a day for the hosts. Wissa then seized on the loose ball and picked out the bottom corner. Boly stepped in to intercept, however. Sa got down to make the save, though. If that was on target, it likely would have beaten the goalkeeper all ends up. The focus has turned to their attempts to seal a spot in the Champions League for next season, and the happier supporters have turned up in their droves. Toney was able to take down a corner on his chest, move to the byline and then cross into the penalty area. Moutinho clipped one into the penalty area, Silva deflected the ball slightly, and Saiss was unable to readjust on the fly to guide a header on target. Sa looked to be odds-on to gobble the ball up but he made a mess of the situation, leaving Lukaku with the ball at a tight angle. Buendia's strike from the middle of the area took a wicked deflection and was diverted out of the grasp of the flailing Pope. Moutinho came away with the ball from a 50/50 in the centre of the park, and Boly played through Ait-Nouri. Lukaku was able to hold off Saiss on the edge of the box, and was felled.

DAZN subscribers can watch every single Premier League game in 2021/22 – and it gets better. If you pick up a fuboTV subscription for the games not on Peacock Premium, you'll be able to watch every game. To get around that, all you have to do is get a Virtual Private Network (VPN), assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs. A VPN creates a private connection between your device and t'internet, meaning the service can’t work out where you are and won't automatically block the service you've paid for. N’Golo Kante and Jorginho will need to be assessed but both players have a chance of featuring in some capacity. Wolves are on course to finish in the top eight but their form has also tailed off. Since exiting the Champions League despite a 3-2 victory over Real Madrid at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu, the Blues have won only two of five Premier League matches.

Chelsea face Wolves this afternoon as they bid to arrest a poor run of form and make sure of a top-four spot in the Premier League.

Here is your Chelsea gambling guide for Premier League game against Wolves, provided by Mike Malley for Pride of London as usual.

I’ll turn it around just as the Blues will turn it around, and it will all begin early on Saturday. The atmosphere at Stamford Bridge has had a tangible effect on the home team’s effort, with the club world champs scoring first in four of their previous six matches in west London. I think I have to back this trend to continue, so I’ll be watching the Chelsea first goal prop at -295 odds. For my final pick, I’m strictly following the odds and actively going against my better judgement by taking Chelsea on the moneyline at -280. Adaptation is certainly part of the gambling game, so I’m adjusting my strategy greatly for the match against Wolves. I’m avoiding the plus juice at all costs and taking extreme betting favorites with all three picks. Additionally, last weekend’s performance against Everton should have taught the European champions that no club in the English top flight can be taken lightly. These past six days really have been rejuvenating following an extremely difficult period for the Blues. Going a full week without playing a match was probably the best thing that could’ve happened to Chelsea. The team had been fighting for meaningful Premier League points or a place in the next round of an important cup competition since the international break at the end of March and sorely needed a rest.

It doesn't affect me, but the news is positive and we need it to be resolved." On Lukaku, Tuchel said: "It was a good performance but for sure this is not the time to praise individual players. I don't know if that was the right decision from me but it was a lack of discipline and execution of the match plan. "I don't think the ownership is a reason for a lack of focus. "I reminded the team to execute the match plan with more precision and we did this to go 2-0 up but then we took more risks. "It is not about dropping too low but about the ball structure and losing it in key positions. Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel: "Of course [it feels like a defeat]. We started both halves very well and controlled the match with a very offensive approach to this game today with a 5-3-2 formation. But it was in between those two chances that Chelsea thought they had found the breakthrough - and Lukaku really ought to have made no mistake. The German was frank, telling his players to "be more exhausted after games" having seen a drop-off in physical input during recent defeats to Arsenal and Everton. In came Romelu Lukaku and Chrsitian Pulisic to the three-pronged attack. Chiquinho just runs at people and causes problems and we know about the quality of Trincao's finishing.The subs were massive for us in getting the point." We've been to Man Utd and Tottenham and won but we feel we should have had all three here but for a mad five minutes.

Two goals early in the second half from the returning Romelu Lukaku looked to have tightened Chelsea's grip on a Champions League qualification slot but to ...

The same player then went for goal again and this time, a deflection favoured Chelsea as the ball rolled just wide of Mendy’s net. The ref, on VAR’s recommendation, went and watched it again and decided a leg had been lifted to impede our centre-forward. It was a good start to the second period. After Kovacic had been dispossessed deep in our opponents’ half, the break ended when substitute Trincao fired in an unstoppable effort. Pulisic quickly found Romelu who wasted no time in hitting the target with a sumptuous low finish. With 33 minutes played, Werner had the ball in the net but the whistle had just blown. Another decision went against the Blues soon after, this time via VAR. After the ball had pinged around following a Chelsea corner and Loftus-Cheek found the net from only inches out, there were two offside checks made. Chelsea were looking by far the more likely side to make a breakthrough with a quarter of the game played. Despite those Chelsea attacks, our opponents could well have gone ahead just before half-time when suddenly we were twice caught lacking numbers at the back as they counter-attacked. Those fears were realised when with 96 minutes on the clock, Conor Coady headed in from close range to turn three precious points for Chelsea into one. The Wolves defender looked to be going down anyway. Having been fouled, Lukaku converted a penalty and then scored in open play two minutes later from a Christian Pulisic pass for his first league goals since December.
