After the disappointment of the weekend, Chelsea switch gears and hit the road, traveling up to Noni Madueke’s favorite place for a Wednesday night Carabao Cup clash against the locals. Unfortunately, Noni’s no longer here to put three past them, so someone else will have to step up.

The Wolves vs Chelsea fixture is set for Wednesday, 29 October 2025, with kick-off at 19:45 GMT at Molineux Stadium in Wolverhampton. Wolverhampton: Johnstone, Doherty, S. Bueno, Krejci, H. Bueno, Munetsi, Andre, Joao Gomes, Arias, Larsen, Gomes.

Chelsea travel to Wolverhampton Wanderers in the fourth round of the Carabao Cup in the midst of a topsy-turvy run of form. Last weekend, they were stunned at Stamford Bridge by Sunderland, which means they've got three wins and two losses in the last five games since their narrow third round win away at lower league Lincoln City.

Liam Delap is clearly looking forward to his Chelsea return ahead of Wednesday's Carabao Cup trip to Wolves, while five players received gifts in training for club milestones.

It allows rotation, recovery, and perhaps a reminder of what the team is trying to build. Liam Delap could return to action after a hamstring injury, providing more movement in attack. Cole Palmer and Benoit Badiashile remain out until December,

Wolves turn their attention to the Carabao Cup on Wednesday evening as they invite Chelsea to Molineux for a fourth round tie.

Against Ajax, Romeo Lavia was the only starter to keep his spot from the win over Nottingham Forest, and, similarly, against Sunderland, it was Moises Caicedo who was the only player to start twice last week. It was practically two different starting 11s, and according to Maresca, it was out of necessity.

Maresca won both games against Wolves in his debut 2024/25 campaign in charge with an aggregate score of 9-3. Maresca will make wholesale changes, based on Chelsea's narrow win at Lincoln City in the previous round, and a packed schedule this month.

Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca gave straightforward, honest appraisals in his pre-match press conference looking ahead to Wednesday's Carabao Cup fourth-round tie at Wolves. When asked by BBC Sport, he said he does not think star forward Joao Pedro - without a goal in seven games - is a 20-goal-a-season striker.
