Current form: Chelsea vs Wolves
Chelsea will be looking to make it four straight wins in all competitions as they take on Wolves. The Blues come into this game having cruised to a comfortable 3-0 win over Eastern European outfit Dynamo Kiev in the first leg of their Europa League round of16 tie midweek, which sets them up nicely for the quarter-finals. And prior to that, they picked up wins over Tottenham (2-0) and Fulham (2-1) to recover after losing on spot-kicks to Manchester City in the League Cup final.
Still, Maurizio Sarri's side sit in sixth spot in the Premier League and will want to close the gap on the top four by picking up all three points here. They'll also want to get revenge on Wolves for their defeat earlier this season and avoid losing both home and away to them for the first time since the 1974/75 season - when they suffered relegation.
Wolves will be looking to become the first newly promoted side to beat Chelsea on home turf since Bournemouth did so in December 2015. Chelsea have a formidable home record against teams coming up from the Championship, with just one defeat in their last 53 (W44 D8), but the visitors have posted some impressive results against teams in the "Big Six" so far this term, especially on the road. They've managed to beat Tottenham, and draw both Arsenal and Manchester United, so they should not be underestimated for this upcoming match.
