This Saturday, at 15:00 GMT/10:00 ET, Chelsea make a return to league action, as they visit bottom-of-the-table Wolverhampton Wanderers for match day 25 of the Premier League season. 

After a gruelling, emotional Carabao Cup defeat in midweek, this is a good opportunity to put that game in the past and get back to winning ways - with all due respect to Wolves. 

Nevertheless, what can we expect from Saturday's hosts?

As touched on before, it has been a very difficult season for Wolves, who have eight points from 24 games in the league this season. After rescuing the side last season, manager Vitor Pereira was relieved of his duties back in November and replaced by Rob Edwards. 

To give them their due, things have somewhat picked up recently. A 1-1 draw against Manchester United at Old Trafford was followed up by a comprehensive 3-0 win at home to West Ham United, before a credible 1-1 draw away to Everton. 

They then smashed League Two side Shrewsbury 6-1 in the FA Cup, before another credible point, this time at home to Newcastle United, as they made it five games unbeaten. 

It has been a bit of a crash back to reality since, with consecutive 2-0 defeats, away to Manchester City and at home to AFC Bournemouth - though there is no shame in either of those results, and they actually played very well in the game against Bournemouth, creating several clear-cut chances. 

The Midlands outfit was active in the January transfer window. On deadline day, they confirmed the signing of Adam Armstrong, a signing that has been suggested as a sign of resigning to their relegation and preparing for the Championship next season. 

More impressively, they were able to secure the signing of England international Angel Gomes on loan from Marseille, on loan with an option to buy. Sure, it's too late for him to help keep them up, but it should almost certainly ensure that no embarrassing records are set.

One of the breakout stars of the Premier League season has been Matheus Mane, who has played as the most advanced central midfielder or as a forward. He scored a sublime goal at Everton last month, taking a fizzed pass into his stride and sweeping the ball past Jordan Pickford. 

If Wolves are to cause Chelsea any serious threat, it will almost certainly come from the teenage star. He is likely to play in the midfield alongside Joao Gomes, a Brazilian international who was linked with Napoli and Atletico Madrid last month. 

These level of players playing for the bottom of the league just shows the level of the Premier League now. The hosts have also had a week off, unlike Liam Rosenior's side. Although this should and will probably be a win, they will likely have to work hard for it.
