The match, which kicks off at 2pm, will not be shown live on either Sky Sports or TNT Sports with other fixtures taking priority in the eyes of the two leading broadcasters. Manchester United's game against West Ham will start at the same time and has been selected for Sky Sports coverage, with Liverpool's trip to Arsenal being shown at 4pm.

TNT Sports, meanwhile, are only broadcasting one Premier League match this weekend with Everton's game against Tottenham shown on Saturday lunchtime.

The Blues were also snubbed for live TV coverage last Friday, with their goalless draw at home to Aston Villa in the FA Cup not being shown on either BBC or ITV. Manchester City's dramatic victory over Tottenham was the only televised game that day, but the match at Stamford Bridge was shown in other countries with ESPN+ broadcasting it in the United States.

It remains to be seen if Chelsea will be able to avenge their previous defeat to Wolves, who downed the Blues at Molineux in the reverse fixture in December. Goals from Mario Lemina and Matt Doherty secured victory for the hosts on that occasion, with Christopher Nkunku scoring a late consolation in stoppage time on his Chelsea debut.

Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino went on to dig out his players in his post-match interview on Sky Sports, : "Some are playing in the Premier League for the first time and they need a moment to adapt. It is about confidence and quality, too many things.

"We should score if we want to win games. We feel very disappointed. I am disappointed also because in the first five minutes of the second half we conceded too many corners. We have to keep going and pushing, young teams learn from this sort of game. It was difficult because of the space. It made the task more difficult but we need to keep going."
