It's more encouraging from Wolves as Ait-Nouri overlaps Cunha to cut it back for Sarabia, but the Spaniard's touch is loose before the flag goes up against Ait-Nouri anyway. The final ball needs to be better, but at least they're showing more endeavour.
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Chelsea
Wolves have scored in each of their last 15 Premier League home games. It's their longest scoring streak at Molineux in the top flight since a run of 16 between August and March in 1969-70, but they'll need to step things up to keep it going here.

Wolves win a free-kick slightly to the left of centre, 30 yards from goal, but Sarabia sends an awful cross straight out of play. Wolves have offered nothing going forward to this point.

MISSED CHANCE! Sterling pops up on the right this time, sending a looping cross towards Jackson at the far post. He's totally unmarked and has time to pick his spot, but he gets his first touch all wrong and the ball runs away from him! That was poor from the striker.

Gallagher is fortunate to win a free-kick as Lemina presses him from behind 25 yards from the Chelsea goal. Wolves might have been in there – the home fans aren't happy.

Now Sterling is down after being caught by a follow-through from Semedo, who won possession before making contact with the winger's shin. There's a brief VAR check for a possible red card, which is quickly cleared – it wasn't even a foul. Sterling is soon back to his feet.

That's excellent work from Lemina again, stepping across Palmer to recover possession as the former Manchester City man looked to wriggle into the box. Wolves then lose possession cheaply, however, as Hwang puts too much on a flick intended for Sarabia.

Ait-Nouri looks okay to continue, which is positive news for Wolves. The Algerian has enjoyed a good season, and Wolves missed him when he was absent through injury for recent games against Nottingham Forest and West Ham.
