Chelsea

 This game will be the first time the two clubs have met in the league for over ten years. With wolves 19yr exile from the top flight it has been impossible for Wolves to play Chelsea in a league game.

One's to Watch.

After scoring just one goal all season it is near impossible to select a Striker as the Wolves player "to watch". Instead, Mark Kennedy is expected to start his second ever Premiership game in Wolves colours and will be looking to put in a good performance.

.

Chelsea have a whole host of players which the Wolves players will have to stick to like glue. Romanian forward Adrian Mutu is a doubt for the game, but should he play, he will be the Chelsea man to watch.

The Verdict

.

 Wolves would feel harshly done-by after losing to Southampton last Saturday. Wolves were edging the game before an incredible penalty decision changed the face of the game.

 It was the third game in the Wolves upward curve, as performances made a dramatic improvement after the terrible displays away at Blackburn (5-1) and Charlton (4-0).

 Chelsea will expect to come to Molineux and win, but as Wolves fans know, on our day we can be a match for anyone.

 Fans will be looking to re-create the daunting atmosphere which generates to the "Molineux Factor", the one thing the so-called Pundits believe is in our favour.

 Whilst the Fans do their best to make Molineux a sheer wall of noise the Players will be hoping to re-gain the same type of performance which had us beat Newcastle in that exhilarating FA Cup Tie.

 Wolves injury list is also slowly getting easier for Manager Dave Jones. Henri Camara is off the list and should start, Kennedy came off the list last week whilst Hassan Kachloul should also be fit for the game.

 Wolves however will still be without last-seasons leading goal scorer Kenny Miller, player of the season Joleon Lescott, George Ndah and Dean Sturridge to name but a few.

 With the Fans help, determination from the lads on the pitch and a bit of luck, in the words of Manager Dave Jones, "Things Will Turn".

 Lets hope that things start to turn whilst Live on SKY Saturday in a 12.30 kick-off, its Wolverhampton Wanderers Vs Chelsea.
