Edouard Mendy - Two saves in draw Mendy made two saves during Saturday's 2-2 draw with Wolves.

Impact Mendy made two saves on four shots faced during Saturday's draw. The keeper was looking set for a solid showing until late in the match when he lost control of the box. The final goal came deep in stoppage time and denied Mendy the game-winning bonus. Mendy and Chelsea have been in poor form lately, and will hope to bounce back against an awful Leeds side next time out.

Timo Werner - Three shots Saturday Werner shot three times (twice on goal) during Saturday's 2-2 draw with Wolves.

Impact Werner shot three times during Saturday's draw, as well as sending in three crosses. The forward has had an absolutely awful season with Chelsea, with four goals and one assist down from his six goals and eight assists in his first campaign in London. Compared to his final Bundesliga numbers (28 goals, eight assists) Werner has been a massively disappointing option on the pitch and in fantasy rosters.

Reece James - Busy in draw James sent in five crosses, creating one chance during Saturday's 2-2 draw with Wolves.

Impact James sent in five crosses Saturday, as well as shooting twice in the draw. The wing-back has been one of the few consistent fantasy providers for Chelsea and has 11 goal contributions on the campaign (five goals, six assists.) James has a very favorable clash with Leeds on Wednesday, where he will look to prey on the very weak defense Leeds offer.

Christian Pulisic - Assists in rare start Pulisic provided one assist on four chances created during Saturday's two-all draw with Wolves.

Impact Pulisic provided his second Premier League assist of the campaign during Saturday's draw. The attacking midfielder was back in the starting XI for the first time since early April, and made the most of it with the assist. Pulisic will hope to stay in the starting XI against a woeful Leeds defense next time out.

Romelu Lukaku - Could start Saturday Lukaku could be back in the starting XI against Wolverhampton on Saturday after manager Thomas Tuchel told reporters, "He trained very well, maybe he starts tomorrow, we'll see."

Impact Lukaku has made just one start for Chelsea in his last eight appearances and was an unused substitute versus Everton on Sunday. The striker's five goals in 23 EPL contests this year marks his lowest total in domestic competition since his first stint with Chelsea back in 2011-12 in which he only made eight appearances for the senior squad.

Impact Jorginho was forced off at the break last weekend and unfortunately what the issue, he didn't get in any training sessions this week. With N'Golo Kante also out, Chelsea will likely turn to a starting midfield of Mateo Kovacic and Ruben Loftus-Cheek on Saturday against Wolves.

N'Golo Kante - Out against Wolves Kante (undisclosed) will miss Saturday's match against Wolverhampton, according to manager Thomas Tuchel.

Impact It's unknown the exact issue for Kante, but without much to play for ahead of the Cup final, there's no reason to push him. Chelsea may rotate after losing at Everton last match with a starting midfield duo of Mateo Kovacic and Ruben Loftus-Cheek looking likely.

Mateo Kovacic - Plays second half against Everton Kovacic (ankle) played 45 minutes off the bench and had two shots and two chances created in Sunday's 1-0 loss against Everton.

Impact Kovacic made a somewhat surprising return to the starting XI Sunday after missing the last two weeks with an ankle injury. Given that he came on for Jorginho, it's expected Kovacic will return to the starting XI for Chelsea's next match, as Thomas Tuchel hasn't been happy with his midfield of late.

N'Golo Kante - Misses Everton loss Kante wasn't in the squad for Sunday's loss against Everton because of a minor injury.

Impact Kante left in the 82nd minute of last week's draw against Manchester United and couldn't recover a few days later for the Everton match. It's assumed he'll be available for the game against Wolves, but nothing is guaranteed and Ruben Loftus-Cheek could be in the midfield again if needed.
