Chelsea have only scored 20 of their 56 big chances in the Premier League this season, failing to convert more than any other side (36). Will Maurico Pochettino's men show more of a cutting edge in the second half? They have last season's leading Bundesliga goalscorer, Nkunku, in reserve if the Argentine decides to make a change.

Wolves barely offered anything in attack for the first 25 minutes or so, but they've now racked up five shots worth 0.5 expected goals (xG).

Both bosses will want more from their attacking players after the break.
