Chelsea will on Saturday afternoon, 7 May, host Wolves in what is expected to be a tough Premier League battle as Thomas Tuchel and his wards will want to maintain their position on the top 4.

Even though the Blues will still be keeping their focus on the coming FA Cup final between them and Liverpool next week, they know that making the top four is important.

Last weekend, Chelsea suffered a shock 1-0 defeat against Everton and the Blues will want to return to winning ways in front of their faithfuls in London.

The match between Chelsea and Wolves at Stamford Bridge will kickoff at 3pm.

Kante tops list of players set to leave Stamford Bridge amid Chelsea sale controversy

Earlier, Sports Brief had reported how following the imminent departures of Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen, who are set to join Real Madrid and Barcelona respectively, more Chelsea players are set to do the same.

The Blues have been clouded by uncertainty following the UK Government sanctions on Roman Abramovich over his links to the Russian Government.

Chelsea are apparently concerned that two of its most important players, Ngolo Kante and Jorginho, may leave the London club due to the Roman Abramovich controversy.

The free move of Rudiger to Real Madrid is said to have left senior players "gutted" as some players do not believe Abramovich's sanctions stopped a new contract with the German defender from being reached.
