Analysis of the match between Wolverhampton and Chelsea
Chelsea are currently sitting fifth in the Premier League standings, but the gap to Manchester United — who occupy the final Champions League spot — is just a slender one point. This means that a victory over Wolves this weekend could see the London club break into the top four. With such a clear objective, the Blues will head to Molineux with maximum determination.
Chelsea have plenty of reasons to be confident of securing all three points. The Blues are showing strong signs of resurgence, having won each of their last three Premier League matches, scoring at least two goals in every game. Since Liam Rosenior took charge, Chelsea’s playing style has become more cohesive, effective and attack-minded.
In addition, Chelsea’s recent away form has been impressive. They have suffered just one defeat in their last four away matches, winning the other three. Notably, Chelsea scored a total of 11 goals across those three victories — a return that would worry any opponent. With such attacking efficiency, Wolves are unlikely to intimidate Rosenior’s side.
The head-to-head record also strongly favours Chelsea. In the last four meetings between the two teams, the Blues emerged victorious every time, scoring 16 goals in total — an average of four goals per match, highlighting the clear gap in quality.
Meanwhile, Wolves are enduring a torrid spell. Over their last 18 Premier League fixtures, they have managed just one win, alongside four draws and 13 defeats. This dreadful run leaves Wolves rooted to the bottom of the table with only eight points, leaving them on the brink of relegation.
Against a struggling Wolves side, Chelsea’s trip to Molineux this weekend represents an excellent opportunity to collect all three points and strengthen their push for a top-four finish.
