Chelsea vs Wolves confirmed lineups as Romelu Lukaku and Christian Pulisic start, Mount benched

Thomas Tuchel has made three changes to the Chelsea side that lost to Everton to face Wolves. Romelu Lukaku and Christian Pulisic both start for the Blues, with the former searching for his first Premier League in 2022.

Chilwell continues his rehabilitation process while Hudson-Odoi was pictured in training earlier in the week.
