Chelsea face Wolves in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon at Stamford Bridge, and Graham Potter has plenty of selection decisions to make.
Chelsea are back in league action and looking to continue their unbeaten start to life under Potter having won two of his first three games in charge in all competitions.
They welcome a Wolves side to Stamford Bridge who sacked Bruno Lage earlier this week after their 2-0 defeat to West Ham, leaving them in the relegation zone in 18th place.

Wolves head to the capital at the weekend without a win since the start of September and yet to win away from home this season. Potter is not focused on what has happened at Molineux this week and their recent form which sees them having only picked up one win from their opening eight league games.
“My focus is on us on making sure we're ready to play,” said Potter in his pre-match press conference, as quoted by football.london.

“We haven't got a lot of time to prepare. You can't control the opposition's situation. You see the games in the Premier League, the margins are so small. They've been in games that they've narrowly lost.

"Historically it's a challenge playing Wolves, we have to be recovered and ready and positive and looking forward to the match.”
A win on Saturday would give Chelsea three wins in the league in a row too and a chance of moving into the Champions League places.
Predicted Chelsea starting XI to face Wolves: Kepa, James, Chalobah, Silva, Chilwell, Jorginho, Loftus-Cheek, Gallagher, Mount, Aubameyang, Sterling
After keeping a clean sheet on Wednesday against AC Milan, Kepa looks set to retain his place in goal.
Wesley Fofana’s absence following a knee sprain should see Trevoh Chalobah get a run in the team after impressing Potter in training and against Milan.

Ben Chilwell will be keen to keep his place despite Marc Cucurella being fully fit following illness.
Whether Potter deploys a three or four-back system remains unclear, but Jorginho is likely to return to the team having missed the win on Wednesday due to abdominal pain.
Conor Gallagher and Ruben Loftus-Cheek will be desperate for starts after impressing in recent games, while Mateo Kovacic could be given a rest.
Mason Mount, Raheem Sterling and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang look set to all start to continue their winning run together in attack.
