Chelsea vs Wolves preview

It's not been the best time at Chelsea recently and they've quickly gone from title contenders to sitting in fifth spot.

As was predicted in this preview for the midweek game with Bournemouth (2-2 draw, Palmer first scorer and Kluivert anytime) dropping points is coming too easy for Enzo Maresca's side.

They haven't won any of their last five in the league, losing ground on all the sides around them and undoing a lot of the good work done until the middle of December.

Chelsea vs Wolves predictions and tips

Back to basics

Plenty of goals shared between these two sides in recent times then. There's no reason why that should change.

Before defeat at St James' in midweek, Wolves had managed seven goals in their last three away outings, showing they still possess quality in that final third.

Chelsea's blip can't go on forever and this looks a great opportunity for three points.

Yellow Mat

Three yellow cards in his last eight starts - Matt Doherty is an obvious starting point in the booking markets.

Chelsea's left hand side will be a huge task for him to deal with, with plenty of time without the ball especially.

Booked in midweek and huge value to follow it up here.
