Chelsea breathed a huge sigh of relief when the final whistle sounded at Molineux in the Carabao Cup fourth round on Wednesday night, having just about seen off

Chelsea are through to the quarter-finals of the Carabao Cup after a rollercoaster victory over struggling Wolverhampton Wanderers at Molineux.

Pereira has lost his only previous meeting with Chelsea, but Wolves have a relatively strong recent record against the Blues. While they conceded nine across two defeats last season, they have won three of their last five clashes with the west London giants. They desperately need another positive result on Wednesday night.

Chelsea travel to Wolverhampton Wanderers in the fourth round of the Carabao Cup in the midst of a topsy-turvy run of form. Last weekend, they were stunned at Stamford Bridge by Sunderland, which means they've got three wins and two losses in the last five games since their narrow third round win away at lower league Lincoln City.

It’s fair to say Liam Delap’s return to action for Chelsea didn’t go as planned. He came on as a sub against Wolves in the EFL Cup, got two yellow cards in 7 minutes, meaning he was banned for the game against Tottenham against the weekend.

It is less than a year since O'Neil lost his job at Molineux after a 14-month stint in charge, but he would return into a toxic situation

Delap was shown a red card 25 minutes into his return from a hamstring injury following two yellow cards in the space of seven minutes at Molineux on Wednesday. Maresca did not feel the need to speak to Delap about his dismissal but has warned him about his conduct anyway, with the 22-year-old suspended for Saturday’s trip to Tottenham.

The Wolves vs Chelsea fixture is set for Wednesday, 29 October 2025, with kick-off at 19:45 GMT at Molineux Stadium in Wolverhampton. Wolverhampton: Johnstone, Doherty, S. Bueno, Krejci, H. Bueno, Munetsi, Andre, Joao Gomes, Arias, Larsen, Gomes.
