Both sides sounded the modifications as the half wore on, and all fluency left of the game, which fit us just fine.
Only one voluntary modification from midweek, with Caballero replacing Kepa in objective, as lots of expected, desired, expected. Willian the other modification, imposed through injury, with Pulisic getting the beginning nod instead.
Like-for-like subs, with both groups remaining in 3-4-3 the entire time.

Carefree.
This time, a dull first 40 minutes was followed by 2-goal surge before half-time– Mason Mount with a picture best free kick after Alonso won a questionable nasty; then Giroud not offering up after a preliminary save money on a short-counter.
Job done. Champions League protected. Never in doubt.
When Chelsea played Wolves the very first time this season, a dull very first 30 minutes was followed by a 7-goal explosion, with Chelsea winning 5-2.
Chelsea emerged far more in control in the 2nd half, which was specifically what was needed, specifically with Wolves tossing on plenty of fresh legs, consisting of Adama Traoré. However besides a couple strong runs from him, Chelsea handled the opposition extremely well all afternoon.
PLAYER RATINGS:
Chelsea finish fourth, as Manchester United beat Leicester City to remain third. Leicester surface fifth. Wolves drop to seventh, with Spurs earning a point versus Crystal Palace and therefore completing sixth.
