The Blues then booked their spot in the semi-finals of the EFL Cup on Tuesday evening courtesy of a penalty-shootout win over Newcastle United following a 1-1 draw.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Chelsea's latest injury and suspension news ahead of their clash with Wolves, who are 13th in the table, three points and three positions behind their opponents at Stamford Bridge.
