Maurizio Sarri eager not to put pressure on Calum Hudson-Odoi

Callum Hudson-Odoi and Ruben Loftus-Cheek are back on the Chelsea bench vs Wolves despite impressing midweek in the Europa League.

Hudson-Odoi scored the third against Dynamo Kiev, set up by Loftus-Cheek, in the 3-0 win in the last 16 first leg.

Meanwhile, Eden Hazard and Gonzalo Higuain return to the starting line-up, both of whom were rested midweek.

The Blues can temporarily move into fourth place above Manchester United and Arsenal.

While a second game in hand, at a date to be confirmed against Brighton, gives them a chance to move above Tottenham should they win.

Chelsea XI: Kepa; Azpilicueta, Rudiger, Luiz, Emerson; Kante, Jorginho, Kovacic; Pedro, Higuaín, Hazard

Chelsea subs: Caballero , Christensen, Barkley, Loftus-Cheek, Hudson-Odoi, Willian, Giroud

Wolves XI: Patricio, Otto, Boly, Coady, Saiss, Doherty, Neves, Moutinho, Dendoncker, Jota, Raul Jiminez

Wolves subs: Ruddy, Cavaleiro, Costa, Gibbs-White, Vinagre, Adama, Kilman.
