Mick McCarthy's side had slipped into the relegation zone ahead of their home clash with Spurs but responded with a magnificent performance to prevail 1-0.The result lifted Wolves out of the bottom three but it remains so congested in the lower half of the division that anything less than another victory could leave them back in trouble.McCarthy has already confirmed that he will name an unchanged starting XI barring any late injuries after Wolves were hit with a suspended fine this week for fielding a weakened team at Manchester United.The manager accepted the Premier League's decision and insisted he was happy just to draw a line under the matter.Stephen Ward will therefore continue to support leading scorer Kevin Doyle in attack, with Adlene Guedioura, Karl Henry, David Jones and Matthew Jarvis forming the midfield and Jody Craddock, Kevin Foley, Christophe Berra and Ronald Zubar shielding goalkeeper Marcus Hahnemann.
There will be an enforced change among the substitutes as on-loan defender Michael Mancienne is ineligible to face his former club, so holding midfielder Segundo Castillo and striker Stefan Maierhofer will come into the equation for a place on the bench.

Chelsea will be determined to get their league campaign back on track at Molineux after going down to a surprise 2-1 defeat at the hands of Everton.Carlo Ancelotti's Blues overcame Cardiff in the FA Cup last weekend as they continue to fight for silverware on three fronts, with a UEFA Champions League clash against Inter Milan to come next Wednesday.Ancelotti will focus solely on the Wolves encounter before looking ahead to the trip to Italy as Chelsea bid to extend or at least maintain their one-point advantage over second-placed Manchester United.Captain John Terry is back in contention after being given permission to miss the victory over Cardiff to spend time with his wife in Dubai.Nicolas Anelka was also rested last weekend and is likely to come back in for Daniel Sturridge and resume his partnership with Didier Drogba.
However, Ashley Cole will be out for around three months with a fractured ankle so Yuri Zhirkov will continue to deputise at left-back.Frank Lampard will also miss the trip to Wolves with a virus but should be fit to travel to Milan.Brazilian defender Alex is out with a knee injury he sustained in training, while Michael Essien, Jose Bosingwa, Juliano Belletti and Deco (all knee) all remain sidelined.

Possible starting XIs

Wolves: Hahnemann, Craddock, Foley, Berra, Zubar, Guedioura, Henry, Jones, Jarvis, Ward, Doyle.

Chelsea: Cech, Ivanovic, Terry, Carvalho, Zhirkov, Mikel, Ballack, Joe Cole, Malouda, Drogba, Anelka.

Chelski is wiping wolves

Imagine didier drogba has scored more goals this season than the entire wolves squad

3 points and a 4 point lead at the top is all i can see

What's wrong?
No Lampard, No Carvalho.

-Ferriera--------Ivanovic-----Terry----------Zhirkov--

                 ------------Mikel-----------

                Joe-----             Malouda-----

                              Ballack

                Anelka                 Drogba

Not sure what happened to Carvalho but Lampard has a virus

This pitch is crazy. . .
WE have to be on rampage from the first whistle.

Ferriera will get 3 crosses right out of 40. . Why can't we play a youngster there. .?
