Graham Potter has explained his decision to make seven changes against Wolves in Chelsea's 3-0 win in the Premier League.
The Blues claimed their third win of the week against a manager-less Wolves at Stamford Bridge with a convincing performance.
At the end of the first-half, Kai Havertz opened the scoring with a looping header after a wonderful delivery from Mason Mount.

Mount was the provider once again in the second half, this time picking out Christian Pulisic, who calmly guided the ball over and past Jose Sa.
The rout was complete when Armando Broja blasted a strike into the bottom corner to score his first goal for the club.

This was a great result that sees Chelsea move up into the top four past Brighton & Hove Albion.
Already this week the Blues had beaten Crystal Palace from a last minute winner by Conor Gallagher and they beat AC Milan on Wednesday night as well.
Potter has now taken charge of four games as head coach and remains unbeaten, winning three and drawing one.
On Tuesday night he faces another tough test, with the return fixture taking place in the Champions League against AC Milan.

With this being a bigger fixture than the one against Wolves, who currently sit in the relegation zone, some rotation was required.
A total of seven changes were made from the 3-0 win in midweek.
Wesley Fofana, Thiago Silva, Reece James, Mateo Kovacic, Ben Chilwell, Raheem Sterling and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang were all dropped for this game.

Before the game, Potter spoke about why he decided to field the team he did.
He said: "A bit of the schedule, individuals carrying certain things, recovery times and lots of other factors.
"But most importantly, we have tried to select a team that can win the match."
He continued: "I want to see a similar personality to the other night, I thought that was good. We need to attack and defend in a good and balanced way.

"We're playing against a team with a lot of attacking players so it will be an interesting game".
At full-time, it was clear Potter did field the correct eleven, his side created chances and dominated the midlands side.
