Graham Potter makes seven changes to his Chelsea starting lineup for Saturday's Premier League fixture against Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Graham Potter has made seven changes to his Chelsea starting lineup for Saturday's Premier League fixture against Wolverhampton Wanderers.

With this game being sandwiched between two crucial Champions League matches with AC Milan, Potter has felt the need to rotate his squad for the latest contest in a hectic schedule.

The most notable alterations come in attack with Christian Pulisic and Kai Havertz being recalled to replace Raheem Sterling and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

As well as defender Wesley Fofana dropping out through injury, Reece James and Ben Chilwell have been selected on the substitutes' bench and Thiago Silva is rested completely.

In their place come Cesar Azpilicueta, Trevoh Chalobah and Marc Cucurella with Potter reverting back to a 4-3-3 formation.

Jorginho and Conor Gallagher are also handed starting roles in midfield as Mateo Kovacic is only named among the replacements.

As far as Wolves are concerned, former Chelsea forward Diego Costa has been handed his first start after joining on a free transfer last month.

Chelsea: Arrizabalaga; Azpilicueta, Chalobah, Koulibaly, Cucurella; Jorginho, Loftus-Cheek, Gallagher; Mount, Havertz, Pulisic

Subs: Mendy, Chilwell, James, Chukwuemeka, Kovacic, Sterling, Ziyech, Aubameyang, Broja

Wolverhampton Wanderers: Sa; Semedo, Kilman, Toti, Jonny; Nunes, Moutinho; Traore, Podence, Guedes; Costa

Subs: Sarkic, Ait-Nouri, Hwang, Mosquera, Ronan, Hodge, Bueno, Campbell
