Going into this game Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca explained that he wanted more output from his wingers to take some of the pressure and expectation off Cole Palmer and Nicholas Jackson.

Noni Madueke had already been under Maresca's microscope in December when he said the English winger "can do much more".

The 22-year-old was brilliant against Wolves.

He started really brightly and although he lacked end product in the first half his perseverance was rewarded in the second.

His cross that set up Marc Cucurella's goal was delightful and then he showed a slightly selfish streak to head home on the line for the third goal.

That is by no means a criticism. All the best players have that desire and will to score.

That action is something that should delight Maresca and offer hope to Chelsea about Madueke's long-term ceiling.

West Ham are in advanced talks to reunite Chelsea analyst Kyle Macauley with Graham Potter.

A deal is expected to be completed this week as negotiations about an exit package move in the right direction, according to sources at both clubs.

Chelsea say goalkeeping coach Ben Roberts is key at the club and won't be re-joining Potter, having been brought to Stamford Bridge by the club's former manager.

Roberts serves as both a goalkeeper coach for Enzo Maresca and advises sporting directors Paul Winstanley and Laurence Stewart on all goalkeeping transfers.

Cole Palmer is the childhood Manchester United fan who grew up idolising Wayne Rooney and honed his playing skills in the cage next to the skate ramps in Wythenshawe's Hollyhedge Park.

As a Year 6 pupil, he confidently wrote "a footballer" in his book at Gatley Primary School, Cheadle, when asked to complete the sentence "One day I'll be...".

Think Palmer and you think of a player who plays with swagger and is box office to watch.

A down to earth Manchester lad tipped for a long and successful England career whose dad says of him: "He doesn't want to be famous. He doesn't want stardom. He just wants to be a footballer."

Think Palmer and your thoughts turn to those deadpan television interviews.

Someone who went viral on social media when he said "chippy chips" are part of his favourite post-match meal, and who regularly returns to Manchester to visit his parents Jermaine - Sterry's son - and Marie, and sister Hallie. An importance placed on family that began in St Kitts.

Chelsea are not in great form but they are going to click again at some point and, if they do, they are going to wipe the floor with Wolves.

Vitor Pereira had that initial bounce as Wolves manager, but they have found it difficult in their past two league games, losing 3-0 to Nottingham Forest and Newcastle, and I don't see things getting much better for them at Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea should win comfortably, while Wolves still have a lot of work to do to get out of relegation trouble. They are in the thick of that battle at the moment.

Sutton's prediction: 3-0

Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca says January has been "a disaster" because of ongoing speculation around his players.

He believes the transfer window, a notorious time of year for rumours and hearsay, has affected the focus of some of his players and negatively impacted their results.

Earlier this week, defender Renato Veiga was rumoured to be in discussions with Borussia Dortmund and there have been questions over the future of Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall too.

Elsewhere, Ben Chilwell, Carney Chukwuemeka and Cesare Casadei have all been told they can find new clubs this month.

"On the pitch, for sure I would like to win more games, but I'm OK," said Maresca. "Off the pitch it's a disaster because [there are] so many noises that I don't think help us, but I don't think they help any club.

"It's for every club [and] every manager. When there is any noise about some player, it's not easy, because even if you think the player can be focused on us, in the end they are human beings.

"So if there is any noise about some different clubs, probably [the player] is not focused 100 per cent, so it doesn't help."

Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca has been speaking to the media before Monday's Premier League game against Wolves (kick-off 20:00 GMT).

Here are the key lines from his news conference:

• Maresca said Cole Palmer, Levi Colwill and Romeo Lavia did not train on Friday.

• On top scorer Palmer: "In the first half [of the game against Bournemouth on Tuesday], they kicked him so he didn't train today. We don't know if he will train tomorrow."

• On the fitness of captain Reece James: "For Reece, it is not about if he scores goals or how many minutes, it's just to manage him. We are going to see. If he plays 45 minutes, he can be ready but we don't want to risk [him]. We don't want him to get injured again."

• On the improving form of Enzo Fernandez: "He understands the game much better than the start of the season. That's normal when you start a new process and also because the way we want him to play is a bit different. We were sure he was going to score goals and give us clear chances. I think by being more clinical, he could."

• On recalling defender Trevoh Chalobah from his loan at Crystal Palace: "It is quite an easy process [getting him back]. We have quite a few injuries and we were looking for a solution so we called back Trev. First of all, we know him very well - second we are sure he can [impress]."

• On transfer rumours potentially distracting players: "When there is noise about any player, it is not easy because even if you are sure the player can be focused on us, he is a human being. If there is noise about a different club, [he is] probably not focused 100%. It's not [helpful]."

• On opponents Wolves and if he took any lessons from their 6-2 win over them earlier this season: "They changed their manager. Now, it not the same idea. I don't think the last game can be [relevant] for us or for them. It is a new game with a new manager and a different way to attack and defend. We can be ready the way we were for the past few games to get the three points."
