There is still plenty of time for Wolves, last time these two met Wolves were 2-0 down until the 79th minute, and ended up drawing 2-2 after a 97th minute Conor Coady equaliser.
Also worth remembering that the scorers were Coady and Trincao, who are both no longer at the club.
Into the final 20 minutes now.

Diego Costa is being replaced by Hwang Hee Chan.
He comes off on the far side of the pitch and is given a standing ovation by the Chelsea faithful.

He high-fives fans as he walks around the pitch, a lovely moment.
56. Chelsea 2-0 Wolves

Wolves win a corner after some nice play by Jonny and Matheus Nunes, they play it short and whip a nice ball in, but Kepa meets it.
