Chelsea line-ups for Wolves as Liam Delap selection decision made with Facundo Buonanotte chance

Chelsea attempt to return to winning ways on Wednesday night with the Blues back in action against Wolves in the Carabao Cup fourth round.

Enzo Maresca's side suffered a shock 2-1 defeat to Sunderland in the Premier League on Saturday, with Chemsdine Talbi's 93rd minute strike winning it for Regis Le Bris' team. Wolves are rock bottom in the league, however, and Chelsea are firm favourites to progress to the quarter-finals.

Maresca has hinted he will make changes to his starting XI, though, with the likes of Enzo Fernandez, Moises Caicedo and Joao Pedro namechecked by the Italian. How, then, does the Blues boss play it? Our writers have their say...

Personally, this feels like the perfect time for Chelsea to make wholesale changes and still win the game. The atmosphere at Molineux over the weekend seemed very toxic and the Blues should be able to pick up a result here regardless of the side they field.

Filip Jorgensen should be given a go in Wolverhampton. The Danish goalkeeper was given the nod in the last round of the Carabao Cup at Lincoln City and could once again be chosen ahead of Robert Sanchez.

Malo Gusto has missed the last two matches through illness and suspension, respectively, but the Frenchman could return on Wednesday evening. Reece James should be given a rest, but also be an option from the bench if Chelsea do end up needing their captain.

Wesley Fofana to start alongside Tosin Adarabioyo, with Trevoh Chalobah and Josh Acheampong being handed a rest. Jorrel Hato in at left-back for Marc Cucurella, as the Dutchman looks to make an impression on Enzo Maresca.

Romeo Lavia was not involved on Saturday, so there could be a space in the side for the Belgian in the west Midlands on Wednesday. Maresca hinted that Enzo Fernandez and Moises Caicedo could both be rested, so Andrey Santos could make a rare start for the Blues.

Estevao Willian on the right wing as he looks to continue his fine recent form. Facundo Buonanotte in the No.10 role, with Jamie Gittens still looking to impress Maresca on the left-hand side. Tyrique George to start as the No.9 with Liam Delap hopefully getting some minutes off the bench.

Vincent's XI to face Wolves: Jorgensen; Gusto, Fofana, Tosin, Hato; Lavia, Santos; Estevao, Buonanotte, Gittens; George

Sam Truelove

Chelsea face a struggling Wolves side and it could be the perfect fixture for Enzo Maresca to rotate his troops ahead of a challenging trip to Tottenham on Saturday. Filip Jorgensen can start in goal and I would play Wesley Fofana and Tosin Adarabioyo in front of the goalkeeper, with Malo Gusto and Jorrel Hato either side of the centre-backs.

I would continue the changes by resting Moises Caicedo and Enzo Fernandez as the midfield two. Andrey Santos and Romeo Lavia can play instead, with the pair still offering plenty of quality.

Estevao Willian and Jamie Gittens can provide the width for the Blues and I'm tipping Brighton loanee Facundo Buonanotte to have a big impact on proceedings from the start. It could well be Tyrique George starting up front but Liam Delap is fit, according to Maresca, so I would start the Englishman here and maybe give him 45 minutes against Wolves.

Truelove's Chelsea XI to face Wolves: Jorgensen; Gusto, Fofana, Tosin, Hato; Santos, Lavia; Estevao, Buonanotte, Gittens; Delap
