Chelsea face Wolves in the Premier League and the confirmed team news is in from Stamford Bridge.

The hosts are unbeaten at home this season and also yet to lose under new head coach Graham Potter since his appointment last month to succeed Thomas Tuchel.

Wolves head to the capital without a manager after Bruno Lage was sacked this week.

Their underdog status against Chelsea is added to for the weekend's clash having not won away from home this term, as well as only winning one of their opening eight games in the league.

Chelsea are closing in on the Champions League places and will be buoyed on after their last two results, winning against both Crystal Palace and AC Milan.

There is still plenty of improvement for Chelsea to do, who will welcome Diego Costa back to Stamford Bridge on Saturday afternoon after his summer switch to Molineux.

"We have a lot of respect for what he has achieved," said Potter on Costa ahead of the game. "He will come ready to play.

"Everybody knows at the club how good he's been. He's one of lots of talented players at Wolves that can hurt you, so we have to be ready.

"I'm not sure, I hope so (good reception). Always when players achieve something at the club, you hope so. But that's not for me to decide."

Here is the confirmed team news from Stamford Bridge as Chelsea take on Wolves.
