Chelsea look to build on the momentum of the past week with a third successive win. Last time we won three in a row was back in April; the last time we kept two clean sheets in a row was back in late February.

Potter has shuffled his deck a fair bit, with seven changes from midweek, including a start for Christian Pulisic, and a formation switch to a back-four (looks like a 4-3-3 or a 4-2-2-2 depending on where Gallagher and Mount play). Only Kepa, K2, RLC, and Mount keep their spots.

Diego Costa makes his first start for Wolves.

Here we go!

Arrizabalaga | Cucurella, Koulibaly, Chalobah, Azpilicueta (c) | Loftus-Cheek, Jorginho, Gallagher | Pulisic, Havertz, Mount
