Chelsea have been dealt a tough hand by the Premier League as they\u2019re on their travels for the first Christmas Eve fixture in the division since 1995.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Blues visit Wolves on Sunday hoping to edge closer to the European places after an up-and-down start to the 2023\/24 campaign.<\/p>\n

Chelsea have undoubtedly shown promise under Mauricio Pochettino, but they\u2019ve also endured some low moments with the Argentine at the helm and inconsistency has plagued them thus far.<\/p>\n

Their injury list remains extensive, although things should brighten up on that front in the new year.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s how Chelsea could line up for their Christmas Eve duel at Molineux.<\/p>\n

GK: Dorde Petrovic \u2013<\/strong>\u00a0The penalty-saving specialist will enjoy a long run in the side following Robert Sanchez\u2019s injury.<\/p>\n

RB: Axel Disasi \u2013\u00a0<\/strong>Poch has so far favoured the defensive security of Disasi over Malo Gusto since Reece James succumbed to another injury setback.<\/p>\n

CB: Thiago Silva \u2013<\/strong>\u00a0The Brazilian veteran has been a constant in the Chelsea defence this season, and he won\u2019t drop out of the side this weekend. Silva should earn a breather at some point over the festive period.<\/p>\n

CB: Benoit Badiashile \u2013<\/strong>\u00a0The left-footed defender didn\u2019t cover himself in glory for Newcastle\u2019s goal in midweek, but it\u2019d be harsh to drop Badiashile given that he\u2019s often impressed in a Chelsea shirt.<\/p>\n

LB: Levi Colwill \u2013\u00a0<\/strong>Ben Chilwell is on the comeback trail and he could make the matchday squad. He almost certainly won\u2019t start, though, which means Colwill should continue at left-back.<\/p>\n

CM: Moises Caicedo \u2013<\/strong>\u00a0The former Brighton midfielder was fortunate not to receive his marching orders on Tuesday night, but he was excellent during the Blues\u2019 win over\u00a0Sheffield United. Caicedo\u2019s starting to settle.<\/p>\n

CM: Conor Gallagher \u2013<\/strong>\u00a0Enzo Fernandez is unlikely to feature with a groin injury. If he does miss out, Gallagher will drop into a deeper position as he did at the start of the season.<\/p>\n

RM: Cole Palmer \u2013\u00a0<\/strong>He may have been aided by a few penalties, but no\u00a0Chelsea\u00a0player has more Premier League goal contributions than Palmer (nine) this season.<\/p>\n

AM: Christopher Nkunku \u2013\u00a0<\/strong>The Frenchman finally made his first competitive appearance for the Blues in midweek, and he could be thrust into the limelight right away on Christmas Eve.<\/p>\n

LM: Raheem Sterling \u2013<\/strong>\u00a0The Englishman is playing with a chip on his shoulder and has been among the club\u2019s standout performers this term. While Mykhailo Mudryk has shown signs of life in recent weeks, Sterling has to start.<\/p>\n

ST: Nicolas Jackson \u2013\u00a0<\/strong>Jackson matched his yellow card tally last weekend as he scored his seventh\u00a0Premier League\u00a0goal. With Chelsea targeting a striker in January, who knows how long the Senegalese international has as the club\u2019s leading man up top?<\/p>\n
