Chelsea vs Wolves live stream and match preview
Looking for a Chelsea vs Wolves live stream? We've got you covered.
Graham Potter’s side will be looking to round off what has been an excellent week since the return of club football. A late Conor Gallagher strike earned the Blues all three points against Crystal Palace last weekend, before Chelsea climbed into the top two of their Champions League group with a convincing 3-0 triumph over AC Milan in midweek.
That match featured a fine performance from Chelsea, who played some fantastic attacking football and also looked solid at the back. Potter is beginning to get his ideas across at Stamford Bridge, and that bodes well ahead of a crucial period before the World Cup.
Wolves parted company with Bruno Lage last weekend after a poor start to the campaign. With just one win from their first eight matches, Wolves head into Saturday’s contest in the relegation zone, while no teams in the division has scored as few goals so far. Coaches Steve Davis and James Collins will be in caretaker charge in west London, with Julen Lopetegui likely to be appointed as Lage’s permanent successor next week.
Chelsea will be unable to call upon the services of N’Golo Kante, Wesley Fofana and Carney Chukwuemeka for Saturday’s contest. Edouard Mendy could replace Kepa Arrizabalaga after returning from injury, while Jorginho and Kai Havertz are hoping to be included in the XI after beginning the Milan match on the bench.
Wolves will have to make do without Pedro Neto, Sasa Kalajdzic, Raul Jimenez, Hwang Hee-chan and Chiquinho through injury, while Nathan Collins and Ruben Neves are both suspended.

VPN guide
Use a VPN to watch Premier League football from outside your country
If you’re out of the country for a round of Premier League fixtures, then annoyingly your domestic on-demand services won’t work – the broadcaster knows where you are because of your IP address (boo!). You'll be blocked from watching it, which is not ideal if you’ve paid up for a subscription and still want to catch the action without resorting to illegal feeds you’ve found on Reddit.
But assistance is on hand. To get around that, all you have to do is get a Virtual Private Network (VPN), assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs. A VPN creates a private connection between your device and t'internet, meaning the service can’t work out where you are and won't automatically block the service you've paid for. All the info going between is entirely encrypted – and that's a result.
There are plenty of good-value options out there, and FourFourTwo currently recommends:
