Wolves Hand Chelsea Test to Academy Caretakers After Pereira Sacking

Saturday's late kickoff features the league's bottom club under interim leadership facing opponents dealing with new injury setbacks.

Overview

  • Under‑21 coach James Collins and Under‑18 boss Richard Walker are set to lead the visitors on an interim basis for the trip to Stamford Bridge.
  • The Premier League match is scheduled for 8pm GMT on Saturday, November 8, with live TV coverage on Sky Sports.
  • The visitors are winless in 10 league matches, sit bottom of the table on two points, and are reported to be eight points from safety.
  • The hosts' selection is stretched after Romeo Lavia was forced off early in the midweek Qarabag draw, with Benoit Badiashile, Cole Palmer, Dario Essugo and Levi Colwill also sidelined.
  • Recent results have increased scrutiny on Enzo Maresca, though the home side took a point in Europe and won 4-3 in last month's cup meeting between these teams.
