Team Analysis
Enzo Maresca's Chelsea are set to welcome Wolverhampton Wanderers to Stamford Bridge on Monday night in what could be a significant match in the race for Champions League football and Premier League survival. The Blues are sixth in the table with 37 points and are just one point from fifth-placed Newcastle United, while Wolves were beaten 3-0 by Newcastle on January 15 and are in 17th place with 16 points, level with 18th-placed Ipswich Town.

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. 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.

Odds Analysis
Chelsea could concede multiple chances on Monday given they may have to field a weakened backline, and their defensive frailty could provide Wolves with the impetus to attack. However, Maresca should be confident that his team can at least avoid defeat considering his side's strong record at Stamford Bridge, and if Palmer is available, it is difficult to see how the visitors can keep their hosts from scoring.

Pick: Chelsea
