Premier League Preview: Chelsea v Wolves

Last year's Premier League runners-up are in need of a positive result against Mick McCarthy's men after back-to-back home defeats as well as a 2-1 away loss to Bayer Leverkusen.Andre Villas-Boas will have plenty to think about in terms of who keeps their place following a poor run of form, but wholesale changes probably won’t occur against Wolves.There will probably be minor tweaks, with Fernando Torres possibly coming in to replace Didier Drogba ,who scored in the defeat to Bayer Leverkusen, though there could be some young players filling in for tired legs after two long games in one week.For Wolves, Richard Stearman looks set to miss out with a broken wrist, and Ronald Zubar could fill in for his first appearance in nine months, while both Jamie O'Hara and Stephen Hunt are both missing due to suspension. Expect Nenad Milijas and Adlene Guedioura to step in.Since their 5-0 thrashing of Genk in October, Chelsea have only won two games, and one of those was after extra time in the League Cup.    Wolves have not kept a clean sheet in nine league games, since the 0-0 draw against Aston Villa in late August.  Wolves have won only one of their last six games, while Chelsea have won three and lost three.  Mick McCarthy's visitors have lost their last four away games, conceding nine goals in the process. Wolves are yet to receive a red card this season, whereas Chelsea have seen three players receive their marching orders. The Blues haven't lost at home to Wolves since 1979, but the Midlands outfit did pick up a win when the sides last met at Molineux back in January.
