- Chelsea and Wolves clash amid defensive struggles and goal-scoring potential.
- Chelsea winless in five PL matches, Wolves just above relegation on goal difference.
- Expect goals, with Cole Palmer and Matheus Cunha as key players.

Chelsea vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
Chelsea will be keen to snap out of a rough patch as they host Wolverhampton Wanderers in the English Premier League on Monday.
Wolves are looking to ease away from the danger zone and face the Blues, who are trying to return to their best form. Both teams are struggling at the back and with their attacks capable of taking advantage, there should be goals here.
Chelsea Form
Since manager Enzo Maresca repeatedly made the statement about Chelsea not being in the title race, the Blues seem to have suffered a dip in form. They are winless in their last five Premier League matches and have now dropped out of the top four, sitting one point behind Newcastle United.
One of the issues for Chelsea is a misfiring Nicholas Jackson, who has come in for criticism for a series of poor displays lately. However Cole Palmer continues to impress for the Blues and scored his 14th goal of the season as they were held to a 2-2 home draw by Bournemouth in their previous Premier League fixture.
Three of Chelsea’s last four home matches across all competitions have produced over 3.5 goals. They have failed to keep a clean sheet in seven of their last eight Premier League matches.
Wolverhampton Wanderers Form
Wolverhampton Wanderers’ new manager bounce appears to have fizzled out as they head to Stamford Bridge winless in their last three Premier League matches. They have lost the last two in that run, suffering successive 3-0 defeats to Nottingham Forest and Newcastle United.
That poor run means Wolves remain just above the relegation zone only on goal difference and will need a quick upturn in fortunes. The good news is that they will have top scorer Matheus Cunha back following a two match suspension. The forward is often involved in most of their attacking moves and will be looking to add to his 10 Premier League goals this season.
Cunha’s return helps with Wolverhampton Wanderers’ attacking quality but does little to ease their defensive problems. Vitor Pereira’s men have conceded in each of their last three Premier League matches, letting in a total of eight goals in that run.
Head to Head
Chelsea earned a 6-2 away victory in the reverse fixture in August, with Noni Madueke netting a hat-trick. However, Wolves had been unbeaten in eight of the last nine meetings and won 4-2 on their last visit to Stamford Bridge.
Verdict
This fixture seems to always produce goals with the last two meetings offering up over 2.5 goals. With neither defence looking solid and the attacks showing their quality, Monday’s match should produce a similar outcome, with both teams expected to score.
Palmer remains the biggest attacking threat for Chelsea and having scored in the last two matches with Wolves, he should find the net once again.
