JAKARTA - Stamford Bridge will witness the tough test for Wolverhampton Wanderers who recently sacked coach Vitor Pereira. The basic team of the standings will play their first game without the coach on Saturday night * November, against Chelsea who are looking for coverage after a tiring trip to Azerbaijan in the Champions League.

Chelsea have come up and down in the last six Premier League games with three wins and three defeats. However, a narrow 1-0 win over Tottenham last week gave a big morale boost. Joao Pedro's goal ensures the Blues are now perched in seventh place in the standings thanks to a goal difference better than Manchester United.

Although its performance has not been as fantastic as the season's early predictions, statistics show Chelsea are almost never behind just 14.4% of their total Premier League playing time this season in a losing position, the second best figure after Crystal Palace.

In the Champions League, a 2-2 draw against Qarabag became a bitter record, in which Enzo Maresca's men failed to secure victory despite taking the lead. Alejandro Garnacho became the savior through an equalizer in the second half.

Wolves in the Serious Crisis Meanwhile, Wolves came to London with a heavy burden. The 0-3 defeat to Fulham last weekend was the fourth straight defeat in all competitions, and left them in a distended position in the Premier League standings with eight points behind the safe zone.

The dismissal of Vitor Pereira was inevitable. For the time being, the team is being handled by the academy duo of James Collins and Richard Walker, while the management is hunting for a new coach with the name Rob Edwards (Middlesbrough) is now favorite.

Wolves have also never won in the last 14 Premier League games, with defeats and a draw in turn since last April. In fact, they almost surprised Chelsea in the League Cup on October 29 before losing 3-4 in a game full of dramas.

The news of Chelsea The injury problem hit Maresca again. Romeo midfielder Lavia is again absent after a thigh injury, joining Cole Palmer (flood), Levi Colwill (ACL), Dario Essugo (paha), and Benoit Badiashile (dot). Mykhaylo Mudryk also had to pull over due to suspension.

However, good news came from Pedro Neto, who had recovered from a minor injury and was ready to appear against his former club. Meanwhile striker Liam Delap has finished his suspension and is expected to return as a starter.

Wolverhampton News In the visitors' camp, Emmanuel Agbadou was absent due to a red card in the match against Fulham. He joined Matt Doherty, Leon Chiwome, and Rodrigo Gomes in the treatment room. Ladislav Krejci will shift to central defender position to patch the back line vacancies.

Jhon Arias and Ki-Jana Hoever, who performed poorly last week, were likely replaced by Andre, Joao Gomes, and Jackson Tchatchoua to refresh the game.

The phenomenon of the new 'effect of the new coach' is sometimes magical, but seeing Wolves' fragile condition and Chelsea who can return to field most of their core players, it's hard to imagine a surprise at Stamford Bridge. The Blues are predicted to win their fourth victory from the last five Premier League matches as well as add to the suffering for Wolves who have yet to find a direction after Pereira's departure.

This match could be not just a matter of three points, but also a matter of mentality: Chelsea wants to emphasize that they are starting to return to elite lines, while Wolves struggle not to lose hope in a long season.

Chelsea (4-2-3-1): Sanchez; Gusto, Fofana, Chalobah, Cucurella; Caicedo, Fernandez; Neto, Pedro, Garnacho; Delap
