Maurizio Sarri has said he will study footage of Chelsea's collapse away at Molineux in an attempt to avoid another defeat to Wolves.

Sarri admitted the Blues "stopped playing" having taken a first-half lead on December 5, with two goals in the space of five minutes from Raul Jimenez and Diogo Jota securing the points for Nuno Espirito Santo's side.

Highlights from Wolves' win over Chelsea in the Premier League.

"I remember very well that, after the goal at 1-1, we stopped playing," said Sarri.

"We stopped after 50, 55 minutes for 20 minutes at Wolverhampton, and that was enough to lose the game.

"We were in trouble and stopped completely to play. I need to study that match very well. We need to arrive in this match with the right level of preparation and mentality.

Chelsea will look to make it four wins on the bounce when Wolves visit Stamford Bridge on Super Sunday.

"If you stop to play, you can lose against any team. If you stop to play against Manchester City, you can lose 6-0.
