Rosenior experimented with a new tactical setup for that midweek fixture which did not quite click and it remains to be seen what shape he will employ in the Midlands, especially with Reece James’ availability in doubt.
Wolves, meanwhile, remain on the floor of the top flight, their five-match January unbeaten run now a distant memory.
Date, kick-off time and venue
Wolves vs Chelsea is scheduled for a 3pm GMT kick-off today, Saturday, February 7, 2026.

Wolves vs Chelsea team news
The exact same is true of Pedro Neto, who was also a surprise omission against Arsenal.
Filip Jorgensen and Tosin Adarabioyo are both hoping to return to the side at Molineux, while Dario Essugo, Romeo Lavia and Levi Colwill are out with long-term injuries.
Rob Edwards will have nearly a full complement to choose from, with just two senior players out. One is Toti Gomes, who is recovering from a thigh injury, while Ladislav Krejci has been ill.
Angel Gomes, meanwhile, could make his debut after joining on loan from Marseille.

Wolves vs Chelsea prediction
After a brief New Year’s resurgence, Wolves’ dismal campaign has picked up where it left off.
Now winless in four, they are 18 points adrift of safety with 14 matches to play.
Chelsea, meanwhile, are pushing for the Champions League places and generally impressing as they do so.
Facing a Wolves side with little left to play for beyond pride, Chelsea should fancy their chances.
