Chelsea predicted XI vs Wolves... Enzo Maresca gives £29m player his chance

Enzo Maresca will be delighted to get his first win under his belt as the manager of Chelsea.

Despite it being in the Conference League qualifiers, a 2-0 win will bring confidence after the manager made nine changes to the starting side.

Expect a return to a side similar to the one who faced Manchester City when Premier League action this weekend with a trip to Wolves.

Here’s The Chelsea Chronicle’s predicted line-up for the first away game of the season.

Chelsea predicted XI vs Wolves

Chelsea fans were impressed with Filip Jorgensen in the Conference League match last night, and he will make his Premier League debut this weekend.

Malo Gusto will return to the side, with Reece James still both suspended and injured.

Wesley Fofana’s return to full fitness has been managed well so far, but he will be back in the starting side on Sunday.

He will again be partnered at the back by Levi Colwill, with Benoit Badiashile not impressing on his big chance in Europe.

At left-back, Marc Cucurella will return to the starting side providing he has shaken off the knock that forced him off against City.

Enzo Fernandez will captain the side, and operate in a deeper role than the one he played on the opening day of the season.

He will be joined by Romeo Lavia, who has got off to a very good start to his first real campaign as a Chelsea player.

Just ahead of these two will be Christopher Nkunku, with Cole Palmer’s injury woes from Europe seeing him start the game from the bench.

On the right, Noni Madueke will be handed his first start of the season as he fights for his future at Stamford Bridge.

The opposite wing will be occupied by Pedro Neto, who will no doubt be hungry at the challenge that awaits him at his former side.

Up front, Nicolas Jackson will be looking for his first goal of the season at Molineux.
