Chelsea are hoping to launch a late push to improve their fortunes when they visit Wolverhampton Wanderers on Saturday (April 8) in the Premier League.
The Blues have been one of the stories of the season, failing to sustain a top-four charge despite splashing over £550 million on new arrivals. After going winless in three outings, they're 11th with 39 points from 29 games.
Frank Lampard, who has been appointed the West London outfit's interim boss, will be in charge at the Molineux. He will hope to steady the ship ahead of his team's UEFA Champions League quarterfinal clash against Real Madrid next week.

Chris Sutton offers prediction ahead of Chelsea's Premier League trip to Wolves
In his column for the BBC, former Chelsea striker Chris Sutton predicted a 1-1 draw between his former side and Wolves on Saturday:
"What a strange decision by Chelsea to bring back Frank Lampard, who was sacked by the club in January 2021, as manager until the end of the season. As I have said many times about some of the Blues' decisions, it feels like they are making it all up as they go along."
Expressing his doubts about Lampard, Sutton continued:
"Who knows which way Lampard will go in terms of team selection in this game, or even what formation he will use? Because of that, it's hard to make a prediction, other than that I can't see many goals."
