Chelsea make changes in goal, defence, midfield and attack ahead of tonight's fourth round Carabao cup tie against Wolves at Molineux Chelsea starting line-up to face Wolves in the Carabao Cup   Enzo Maresca makes wholesale changes by rotating the squad with Filip Jorgensen starting in goal with Tosin Adarabioyo, Malo Gusto and Jorrel Hato starting in defence. The trio are joined in defence by Josh Acheampong who is the only player to retain his place following Saturday's loss at home to Sunderland.  There is a strong expectation that Andrey Santos will partner Romeo Lavia in the midfield with Estavao Willian, Facundo Buoananotte and Jamie Bynoe-Gittens partnering Tyrique George in attack.  Tosin captains the blues for the first time on his 50th appearance for the club.  My score prediction for this game is Wolves 0-3 Chelsea  Let me know your score predictions in the comments below
