Wolves v Chelsea live: Team news and line-ups ahead of Carabao Cup tie tonight

Chelsea meanwhile suffered their own late blow as Sunderland hit them with a late counter-attack to win 2-1 at Stamford Bridge.

Chemsdine Talbi, the 20-year-old Morocco international, strode unmarked into the box to sweep home after Brian Brobbey had held the ball up all on his own against two defenders, sparking delirious scenes amongst away supporters in the Shed End.

Strand Larsen insisted that Pereira has the full backing of the squad following the latest blow to their season.

“Yes, of course, all of us are (behind Pereira). We know what we did last season. We’re not blaming anyone here. It’s just where we are right now,” the striker said.

“We don’t blame anyone else. We don’t think that (it is) someone’s fault. It’s all of us. We just have to keep on going and try to make the best out of it.”

“We understand the frustration of the people and supporters but what I must say, if we fight united with them, we can win games and compete and achieve our targets – without them, it is impossible,” the Portuguese manager told reporters.

“Two months ago they sang my name, because together with the work we did last season, we are competing in the Premier League and not the Championship. Now they sing my name to sack me.

“If I was a supporter, I feel proud of my team because they worked and showed the spirit, mentality and ambition to win the game, even when losing 2-0 (after 30 minutes).”

It was a rough weekend for Wolves, as Lyle Foster scored in the fifth minute of added time to hand Burnley a first win on the road this season.

Molineux turned toxic after the final whistle and manager Vitor Pereira went to the fans – along with Jorgen Strand Larsen – and exchanged in heated discussions in front of the South Bank, which ended with the Wolves fans chanting “sacked in the morning” at their manager.

Wolves v Chelsea kicks off at 7.45pm GMT at Molineux tonight. The match will be broadcast live on Sky Sports+. Sky Sports subscribers can stream the action online via the Sky Sports website and app, or via Sky Go.
