RECENT results for Chelsea mean the Blues are starting to look over their shoulders a tad nervously.
Thomas Tuchel's side have just a five point cushion over fifth-placed Tottenham after two wins in their last six Premier League games.
A win on Saturday against Wolves though would help settle some nerves.
Bruno Lage's side are the visitors to Stamford Bridge on a torrid run of form of their own – losing four out of their last five games.
Chelsea though are set to be without two key midfielders for the 3pm kick-off.
Tuchel confirmed today that both N'Golo Kante and Jorginho are sidelined for the clash through injury.

Kante missed last week's defeat to Everton with a knock, while Jorginho was forced off at half time.
That is likely to see Mateo Kovacic partner Ruben Loftus-Cheek in the heart of Tuchel's midfield.
Loftus-Cheek started against the Toffees, meaning Kovacic in for Jorginho could be the only change from the miserable 1-0 loss.
Kai Havertz is likely to continue to lead the line, with Mason Mount and Timo Werner playing off him.

Meanwhile out wide Reece James and Marcos Alonso are set to continue as wing-backs.
And at the back it could be the trio of Antonio Rudiger, Thiago Silva and Cesar Azpilicueta, plus Edoaurd Mendy in goal.
Alternatively Tuchel could start Andreas Christensen in place of Azpilicueta.
Christensen has missed the last three games through illness, but was not named by Tuchel in his list of absentees and could therefore be fit from the beginning.
While it remains unlikely, Romelu Lukaku could also be a candidate to start.
The Blues offered little going forward last week, and Tuchel could look to Lukaku to try and spark some life into what appears to be a tiring forward line.
