Wolverhampton Wanderers are at Chelsea on Monday night having slipped back into the Premier League relegation zone after a 3-0 defeat at Newcastle United last time out

Vitor Pereira confirmed Lemina had asked to leave Wolves in a damning verdict of the situation. He was left out of a 3-0 loss to Newcastle United on Wednesday (January 15). The Portuguese coach said the veteran midfielder had told him he wasn't in the 'mental condition' to 'help the team'.

Facing a Newcastle team brimming with confidence was always going to be a tall order for a Wolves outfit with the worst defensive record in the division, but they were a little unfortunate to be behind at the interval at St James' Park.
