Host commentator
He leads the race to finish as the Premier League’s top scorer heading into the final game of the season. He is currently on 23 goals, two ahead of Southampton’s Danny Ings and three in front of Arsenal’s Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
No hiding behind it from manager Frank Lampard either who has straight faced admitted it is purely tactical to leave out keeper Kepa following the 5-3 loss at Liverpool.
Injury also keeps Willian out of the side, with Christian Pulisic coming in (not a bad replacement, that).
Wolves want a win to secure a Europa League spot and make three changes to the team that defeated Crystal Palace 2-0 as Daniel Podence, Joao Moutinho and Adama Traore make way for Romain Saiss, Pedro Neto and Diogo Jota.
After the 3-0 hammering they took at Tottenham Hotspur, Brendan Rodgers makes three changes to his Leicester team by bringing in Marc Albrighton, Hamza Choudhury and Kelechi Iheanacho for Ryan Bennett, Harvey Barnes and Ayoze Perez.
Manchester United make just one change at right-back with Aaron Wan-Bissaka coming in for Timothy Fosu-Mensah following the 1-1 draw against West Ham.
