Wolverhampton Wanderers travel to Stamford Bridge on November 8 to face Chelsea, in what promises to be a stern test for a team in turmoil. With V\u00edtor Pereira being sacked after a limp 3-0 defeat to Fulham, Wolves find themselves anchored to the foot of the Premier League table. No manager, no confidence and mounting injuries have all made this a pivotal moment for the Molineux club. Against a Chelsea side keen to capitalise on home advantage, Wolves must show grit, organisation and a willingness to shift from recent poor patterns if they are to claim anything. Here is our Wolves predicted lineup.<\/p>\n

Wolves Predicted Lineup vs Chelsea As Visitors Still Winless<\/h2>\n

How Wolves Have Lined Up Recently<\/h3>\n

Last time out against Fulham<\/a>, Wolves switched to a 5-3-2 formation to strengthen their defence and counter-attack on the break. The starting lineup featured Sam Johnstone in goal, with a back five of Hugo Bueno, Toti Gomes, Santiago Bueno, Ladislav Krej\u010d\u00ed, and Ki-Jana Hoever.<\/p>\n

In midfield, a trio of Emmanuel Agbadou, Jean-Ricner Bellegarde, and Marshall Munetsi supported the front two of J\u00f8rgen Strand Larsen and Jhon Arias.<\/p>\n

Wolves Recent Form And Tactics<\/h3>\n

Wolves head into the Chelsea game in alarmingly poor form. They remain the only team in the top seven divisions in England without a win and sit bottom of the league with 2 points in ten games and eight points adrift of safety. After the Fulham defeat and being knocked out of the Carabao Cup by Saturday’s opponent, the board had to act and sack Pereira, who has not won a league game since April.<\/p>\n

Tactically, the use of a back five with wing-backs was intended to provide both defensive solidity and wide outlets. However, Wolves struggled with possession and were dominated by Fulham’s wide play, which hindered any sustained attack. The midfield three had the difficult task of both shielding the defence and linking to the front two.<\/p>\n

Injuries And Suspensions To Consider<\/h3>\n

Academy coaches James Collins and Richard Walker have taken Wolves training sessions this week, and Collins took the pre-match press conference<\/a>. On injuries and suspensions, he had this to say:<\/p>\n

“Rodrigo and Doc are injured. Agbadou was sent off last week, but otherwise, the rest are available. We might see some of my young lads in the squad too.”<\/p>\n
