Chelsea and Wolverhampton Wanderers is highly anticipated, scheduled for January 20, 2025, at 20:00 GMT. Given Chelsea's recent form and their strong home advantage, predictions favor a Chelsea victory. Historically, the club has performed well against Wolves, having secured a notable 6-2 win in previous encounters. However, Chelsea faces significant challenges due to injuries affecting key players such as Cole Palmer and Enzo Fernández . This situation raises questions about their tactical setup and overall performance in the match.
The Blues are still arguably enjoying a better season than many predicted after another chaotic summer but are now without a win in five League games following Tuesday’s 2-2 draw with Bournemouth.
Vitor Pereira but are now without a win in three League games.
While Chelsea are enduring a rough patch, they can take solace from their most recent meeting with Wolves. Having suffered three straight defeats to the Midlands side, Noni Madueke's hat-trick inspired the Blues to a 6-2 win at Molineux back in August.
The six-goal defeat came under Gary O'Neil and new manager Vitor Pereira will be keen to improve upon that result and performance on Monday evening. Two losses on the bounce mean that Wolves are still frantically battling relegation, but they have shown signs of life under the Portuguese coach.
