The Blues returned to winning ways in the Premier League by beating Sheffield United last weekend before a morale-boosting penalty shootout victory over Newcastle in midweek.
Mauricio Pochettino had been under pressure to reverse the club's fortunes after just one win in five before beating the Blades.
After two quickfire victories, Chelsea now have cause to feel hopeful of receiving the gift of a top-half position this Christmas.
However, the west London outfit are winless in their last three away Premier League visits to Wolves, having drawn one and lost two.

Wolves 0-0 Chelsea - HALF TIME
Right, that's the end of the first 45 minutes, and it's been uninspiring.
The hosts have barely been in the game but looked dangerous towards the end of the half.
The visitors have had more of the ball and looked lively, but bar Sterling's miss, they haven't created too much.
Hopefully, it improves in the second half.
