Despite a promising start to the season, when Sarri's team looked like they could be title challengers, it has been a disappointing campaign for the Italian boss.

Controversy has dogged the team, with Sarri publicly stating he has found it hard to motivate his troops.

Chelsea's players have lacked conviction in games, and "Sarri-ball" has not come easily to the squad since the summer.

The Blues' 3-0 UEFA Europa League victory over Dynamo Kiev in the first leg of their round-of-16 tie on Thursday could release the tension for Sarri as he mulls over who should start at Stamford Bridge in the chase for fourth.

Chelsea have quelled the immediate fears about their form, but Wolves pose a real threat to the next three points on offer.

Wolves manager Nuno Espirito Santo gave his squad credit for their strong performances in his pre-match press conference ahead of the trip to west London, per the Express & Star:

Wolves have won more Premier League games than Everton, West Ham United or Leicester City this term. They've proved to be a formidable opponent despite a small squad, and relegation has never been on the cards.

After such a consistent campaign for a promoted side, a downturn in results could follow, and Chelsea will hope this might be the case.

However, Nuno's team has a strong work ethic that has carried over from last season's success. Wolves are not the type of side you want to face as you chase victories to climb the table.

Sarri needs a positive finish to the season, and any slip in their next game will once again create drama and gossip.

If Chelsea drop out of top-four contention as they chase the Europa League title, the Blues coach will find it difficult to extend his tenure into next season.

However, Sarri's men are just two points behind fourth-placed United, and with a game in hand, Chelsea remain in full control of their future.
