As coronavirus wreaks havoc with the Premier League fixture list, this afternoon’s clash between Wolves and Chelsea at Molineux is set to go ahead despite a postponement request from the visitors.
The Blues are dealing with a Covid outbreak of their own, but one that has not been deemed substantial enough to warrant a postponement and as such they are presented with a chance to break out of their recent slump.
Thomas Tuchel’s side - who have named only four outfield substitutes today - have lost valuable ground to Manchester City and Liverpool in the title race in recent weeks, and with both sides also in action on Sunday, they know victory in the Midlands is a must heading into Christmas.
They face a Wolves side who have been hard to break down but who have also found scoring tough themselves - their goal in a 1-0 win over Brighton in midweek was their first in five Premier League matches.

Chelsea’s best period has come right at the end of the half. Still, the quality is not enough.
The intensity is not enough. And there is little connection between midfield and attack. They need to improve in the second half.
Wolves 0-0 Chelsea
Goalless at the break, with the depleted Blues in the ascendancy for a few minutes there.
Otherwise it’s been a frustrating afternoon thus far for Tuchel and Co.
Wolves the better side for the most part, with Podence’s effort ruled out for an offside against Jimenez.
All to play for in the second period.

48 mins: This is Chelsea’s best period since the opening couple of minutes as they keep the pressure on and Sa is at full stretch to tip away a clipped cross from James, who combined nicely with Mount.
Wolves will want the half-time whistle here as their opponents grow in confidence.
45 mins: Chelsea have a corner as the fourth official confirms four minutes of added time at the end of this first half.
Mount gets an immediate second chance at his delivery from the right and a thundered ball then stings the palms of Sa in the Wolves goal.
But here come Chelsea again, turning up the pressure before the interval. Another corner for Wolves to defend.
43 mins: Now a very ambitious effort from Podence fails to trouble Mendy.
Hakim Ziyech almost loses possession in a very dangerous area for Chelsea, but he’s fouled by Ruben Neves.
Again that chance comes from Chelsea’s right. Dendoncker really should be taking that one. Unmarked after Podence’s cross, but heads tamely at Mendy.
40 mins: HUGE chance for Wolves!
Podence easily creates space away from Azpilicueta and James to whip in a cross for Leander Dendoncker, who is all alone and clear from Alonso as he meekly heads down and into the arms of Mendy.
That should have been 1-0. A massive wasted opportunity for the hosts.
39 mins: Thiago Silva and then captain Azpilicueta both have to stand strong to make key interventions as Wolves probe for an opener before the break.
38 mins: Like Thiago Silva, Chalobah is also now back on but neither player looks to be moving very well at all.
Something to closely monitor before the interval.
36 mins: Thiago Silva gingerly limps back on and gives Mendy a thumbs-up, but Chalobah looks to have come off worse and heads to the sideline for more examination.
Will Kovacic be needed before half-time here?
