Chelsea will be looking to return to winning ways with just over a week to go ahead of the FA Cup Final and a Champions League spot to fight for in the league.
The Blues, who started strongly at the start of the season, welcome Wolves to Stamford Bridge and find themselves only three points ahead of fourth-place Arsenal and five behind Tottenham Hotspur who sit in the Europa League spots.
The Blues are the firm favourites for this weekend’s clash at 1/3 with Betfred while Wolves are 17/2 and a draw is 19/5. Chelsea have a solid track record at home against the visitors with five wins and three draws in their last eight meetings at Stamford Bridge while Wolves have failed to score in six of their last eight trips to west London.
Safe to say, recent form is not looking great for Thomas Tuchel’s side with his side picking up just two wins and two defeats in their last five league outings.
A shock defeat away at Goodison Park to relegation-threatened Everton was far from the ideal result they wanted especially coming back disappointed from a 1-1 draw away to Manchester United just a few days prior.
Wolves will be looking for their form to revitalise as well after suffering four defeats in their last five including in their last three league matches.
