Nicolas Jackson is ready to return to boost Mauricio Pochettino ahead of Chelsea’s visit of Wolves.
The striker is back from the Africa Cup of Nations following Senegal’s exit at the hands of Ivory Coast.
Jackson is the only player back in contention, with Levi Colwill still out for the upcoming match at Stamford Bridge.
Reece James, Marc Cucurella, Trevoh Chalobah, Robert Sanchez, Wesley Fofana, Lesley Ugochukwu and Romeo Lavia are also currently injured.
Goalkeeper Djordje Petrovic will continue behind a back four, which could include Malo Gusto, who excelled at Anfield from the bench.
Benoit Badiashile could be dropped to allow Axel Disasi, Thiago Silva and Ben Chilwell to complete the back four.
Christopher Nkunku could start as a No10 in a midfield trio with Enzo Fernandez and Moises Caicedo. Jackson could be drafted straight into the forward line with Cole Palmer and Raheem Sterling.
Chelsea predicted XI: Petrovic, Gusto, Disasi, Silva, Chilwell, Caicedo, Fernandez, Nkunku, Palmer, Jackson, Sterling
Injured: James, Cucurella, Chalobah, Sanchez, Fofana, Ugochukwu, Lavia, Colwill
Time and date: 2pm GMT on Sunday, February 4, 2024
Venue: Stamford Bridge, London
