Prediction: Chelsea to win 4-0
Best Odds: 22/1
Wolverhampton Wanderers and Chelsea will lock horns with each other in the Premier League this coming weekend. The match between Rob Edwards’s side and Liam Rosenior’s team will be held at Molineux Stadium and is scheduled to kick off at 3pm UK time on Saturday.
Wolverhampton Wanderers
Wolverhampton Wanderers are having a dire season and are in real danger of getting relegated to the Championship at the end of the season. An established club in the Premier League, who were playing in the UEFA Europa League not so long ago, are the favourites to end up bottom of the standings in the English top flight.
Wolves are at the foot of the Premier League table at the moment with just eight points from 24 matches. Rob Edwards’s side are as many as 18 points from safety, and, barring a miracle, it does not appear likely that Wolves will retain their top-flight title for next season.
Wolves will head into the Premier League game against Chelsea this coming weekend on the back of a 2-0 defeat at Bournemouth at Molineux Stadium in the league. It came after a 2-0 loss at the hands of Manchester City away from home at the Etihad Stadium in the league. It followed a goalless draw with Newcastle United in front of their own fans.
Team News:
Wolves are likely to line up in a 3-5-2 formation against Chelsea. Jose Sa will be in goal and will have Yerson Mosquera, Santiago Bueno and Emmanuel Agbadou in front of him in defence. Joao Gomes, Andre and Mateus Mane will be the three midfielders. Rodrigo Gomes and Hugo Bueno will be the two wide players. Tolu Arokodare and Hwang Hee-Chan will be deployed as the two centre-forwards.
Chelsea
Chelsea are one of the biggest clubs in the world and have been hugely successful over the past two or so decades. The Blues have won the Premier League, the UEFA Champions League and the UEFA Europa League over the years, and clinched the UEFA Conference League last season and the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup in the summer of 2025.
The Blues finished in the Champions League places in the Premier League table last season and will fancy their chances of doing the same this time around. Chelsea, now under the management of Liam Rosenior, are currently fifth in the standings with 40 points from 24 matches, just a point behind fourth-placed Manchester United.
Chelsea will take on Arsenal away from home at the Emirates Stadium in the second leg of the Carabao Cup quarter-final tie on Tuesday evening before facing Wolves this coming weekend. The Blues beat West Ham United 3-2 at Stamford Bridge in the London derby last weekend, which came after a 3-2 victory over Napoli away from home in Naples in the UEFA Champions League.
Team News:
Chelsea are likely to line up in a 4-1-4-1 formation against Wolves. Robert Sanchez will be in goal and will have Malo Gusto, Trevoh Chalobah, Benoit Badiashile and Jorrel Hato in front of him in defence. Moises Caicedo will be the holding midfielder. Jamie Gittens, Cole Palmer, Enzo Fernandez and Alejandro Garnacho will be deployed in attacking midfield. Liam Delap will lead the line for Chelsea.
