Wolves are struggling for goals although they did create quite a few chances in Saturday's home defeat by Aston Villa.

Chelsea lost at the weekend too, and they did not really get going against Everton.

Frank Lampard's side maybe still have to get used to teams who are set up to stop them from playing the way they want to, but I expect them to win at Molineux.

Lawro's prediction: 0-2

You can't accuse Frank Lampard of being cautious tonight, that's for sure. N'Golo Kante in midfield and then basically a front five...

Simon Atkins: Giroud and Werner on from the start. Honestly, they're both deadly on their day, and together they could be incredible.

Nii: It’s good that Lampard sticking with Giroud and Kai H. For Giroud, he’s a World Cup winner and needs more playing time and he will deliver. Kai will come through at some point in time. Like they say form is temporary but quality and class is permanent.

• Wolves have lost nine Premier League games against Chelsea, their worst tally versus any side other than Liverpool (10). The 32 goals Wolves have conceded in this fixture is their worst return against any top-flight team.

Chelsea

• Chelsea's defeat against Everton last weekend ended an unbeaten run of 17 matches in all competitions. It was their first away league loss of the season.
• Chelsea could lose back-to-back Premier League matches for the first time in a year. The two defeats in December 2019 started with a loss at Goodison Park.

Tottenham Hotspur

The man was so miserable at Manchester United that many of us thought he may be done. But Jose Mourinho is back to his best, on and off the pitch.

His Tottenham side face Liverpool tomorrow and he was bang in form discussing Liverpool's injury problems this afternoon.

He said: "I think Alisson is not injured. Alexander-Arnold is not injured. Matip, I believe that he's going to play. Fabinho is not injured. Roberton is not injured. Henderson is not injured. Wijnaldum is not injured. Salah is not injured, Firmino is not injured, Mane is not injured.

"Van Dijk is injured and Van Dijk is a very good player of course. But give me Liverpool's list of injuries and compare that list with what is the best Liverpool team.

"I can give you a list of 10 injuries at Tottenham. We have two kids of the Under-16s with injuries, we have two others in the Under-21s and two in the Under-23s, we have Lamela and Tanganga. And here is a list of 10 players.

"But is Lloris injured? No. Alderweireld injured? No. Dier injured? No. Reguilon injured no? Harry Kane injured? No. Son injured? No. Lucas injured? No. So where are the injuries?

"Injuries are normal. James Milner is injured, Lamela is injured. You know. Every club has injuries now and again. Liverpool has a big injury. Which is Van Dijk."

The most positive pre-match social media interaction of the season.

Full marks to Ben.

Ben: This is a fantastic lineup. Come on, Chelsea!

It's been that long since I went to an actual football match I can hardly remember what the cold feels like at this time of year - but it's safe to say everyone involved looks freezing tonight.

The sound man for Amazon who was hanging around on an empty, exposed gantry earlier on had undercooked the layers count big time. White as a sheet.

Premier League footballers are putting in a proper shift at the moment. A rare bit of respite from midweek European action? Yep - so we'll squeeze in a full midweek programme.

The majority of the games come tomorrow. Just the two to worry about tonight:

Wolves v Chelsea (18:00 GMT)

Manchester City v West Bromwich Albion (20:00 GMT)

Wolves make two changes to the side beaten by Aston Villa last time out, with Ruben Neves in for the suspended Joao Moutinho and defender Willy Boly replacing Adama Traora.

It looks as if the hosts will revert to a back three, after playing a defensive four in their past few games.

Christian Pulisic is the only player to come in for Frank Lampard's Chelsea side, with Mateo Kovacic dropping to the bench.

Chelsea

This is already Chelsea's fifth game in December - and there are another three to come.

Who will get their Christmas shopping done first, Cesar Azpilicueta or me?

Wolves could be going back to their more usual back three tonight as Willy Boly starts. Adama Traore and the banned Joao Moutinho miss out.

Chelsea bring in Christian Pulisic in their only change.

Full teams to follow.

Chelsea tasted defeat for the first time in 17 games on Saturday.

A tea-time win at Molineux would send them top of the table. It's hard to keep up with the Premier League at the moment isn't it?
