The Blues suffered a third defeat in five matches, going down 2-0 away to Leicester City last time out. The result leaves Chelsea in ninth place on the league standings and 11 points off top spot.
"I'm a fighter first and foremost, it's how I managed to make a career out of the game as a player," said Chelsea manager Frank Lampard following his team's latest defeat. "So when I packed up I could have easily stayed in the media or left football completely, I didn't need to come back in."
He added: "I love the job, and I love the fact that if there are tough times you can fight your way out of it.
"And I'm not just talking about me I'm talking about the players now, because at the minute we know we're not firing. Coming through a tough time, it's the best feeling in football, it's the best feeling you can possibly have. And it would make this talented squad."
Wolves haven't registered a win in six Premier League matches following a 3-2 loss at home to West Brom.

The Blues beat their opponents 2-0 in the corresponding fixture last season. Chelsea forward Olivier Giroud scored in both aforementioned results.
