Wolves vs Chelsea: 3 Blues Frank Lampard must start
3. Wesley Fofana
Wesley Fofana’s campaign with the Blues has been filled with many starts and stops. Like throughout his time with Leicester City, Fofana has struggled to stay on the pitch. He made his return to Premier League action against Liverpool after missing the Aston Villa game due what was reported as fatigue by Potter.
No. 33 returned to the Blues’ back-three on Tuesday night, assisting the west London outfit to their first clean sheet in the league since March 4. While Fofana did not contribute much to the offensive threat of the Blues in their clash with the Reds, he was a stable force in front of Kepa Arrizabalaga. Whatever it is a back-three or back-four, Fofana is must start given the way he performed throughout his return outing at home during the mid-week.
The west London outfit is on a current five-match unbeaten streak with Fofana in the backline. In the battle against Jurgen Klopp’s side, Fofana was thorn in Darwin Nunez’s back, consistently frustrating one of the quickest attackers in the English top-flight problems.

His physicality will be essential if Adama Traore is to be given the nod by Lopetegui in the Wolves frontline on Saturday. He had more tackles plus interceptions of any CFC player on Tuesday evening with 12 interventions. Wolves has scored at least one goal in the past four league contests. With Fofana controlling part of the defense, the Blues know they are going to get a confident, physical player that has even had the tendency to contribute on the scoresheet at points this season.
