After suffering midweek defeats, Chelsea and Wolves seek redemption in a mid-table clash at Stamford Bridge on Sunday. Chelsea succumbed to a 4-1 loss against Liverpool, while Wolves experienced extraordinary late drama in a 4-3 defeat to Manchester United. Both teams will be eager to bounce back and secure three points in this Premier League encounter. Kickoff is scheduled for 2pm GMT.
The blues currently sits in tenth place on the points table, having amassed 31 points from 22 matches. Despite an improved performance compared to the previous campaign, there is still work to be done for the West London club. Following a disappointing 4-1 loss to Liverpool, Chelsea aims to bounce back in their upcoming fixture. The Blues faced a challenging outing at Anfield, with Liverpool’s Conor Bradley showcasing a stellar performance. The blues seeks redemption and aim to climb up the log with a win, as Newcastle United failed to secure a win on Saturday.
Gary O’Neil’s men currently occupy the 11th position on the points table, with 29 points from 22 matches. Despite their last league victory dating back to December, they aim to deliver a top-notch performance against Chelsea. The team suffered a 4-3 defeat against Manchester United in their recent outing, where a late Kobbie Mainoo winner sealed their fate. Wolves’ impressive seven-game unbeaten run came to an end, leaving them just one place and two points behind Chelsea. The visitors look to replicate their Christmas Eve success against the blues, who won just one of their last seven encounters with Wolves.
Head-to-Head
Wolves provided a Christmas gift to their fans with a 2-1 victory over Chelsea on Christmas Eve the last time the two met. The blues have only secured one win in their last seven Premier League encounters against Wolves, albeit a convincing 3-0 triumph at Stamford Bridge during the 2022-23 season.
Prediction
After defensive shortcomings from both sides in the week, the blues, benefitting from an extra day of rest, aim to bounce back from the Liverpool thrashing. Wolves, who upset the blues in December, pose a challenge. However, Chelsea’s home strength and a 45-year winless run for Wolves at Stamford Bridge favor the Blues, who we tip to come away with all three points.
