Current form: Wolves vs Chelsea
Wolves have picked up just one point from their last five games and have suffered a very disturbing downward turn of form after starting the campaign off well. They come into this game having suffered a 2-1 defeat to Cardiff City last weekend, and even more concerning is their overall bad track record against visiting side Chelsea, which has seen them lose seven of their last eight meetings in the Premier League.
Meanwhile, Chelsea have gotten back on track after drawing with Everton and losing against Tottenham - which was their first defeat in the league - with a win over Fulham last round. Maurizio Sarri's men thus will be looking to pick up another vital three points on the road to close the gap on second-placed Liverpool, and Wolves will present the perfect opportunity for them to achieve their objectives.
Current position: Wolves vs Chelsea
Chelsea come into this game sitting in third spot in the table, and with London rivals Arsenal taking on Manchester United - who, despite their struggles this season could pose a potential tricky test for the Gunners - the Blues will hope to stay ahead of them and retain third place with a win on the road today.
Struggling Wolves, who have failed to win their last five games, are in 13th place. Although they are not in danger of relegation just yet, the fact that they have struggled badly as of late means that likely they will be on the back foot for much of this game.
