Chelsea have set themselves up nicely for this match by securing a 2-1 away win against Crystal Palace in their previous league match.  They came away from that fixture with a possession stat of 64% and clocked up 13 attempts on goal with 3 on target, in comparison to Crystal Palace, who managed 7 attempts on goal, 3 of which were on target.  

It seems pretty certain that Graham Potter will be quite pleased with his squad's ability to score goals in recent matches, having managed 9 goals in their past 6 outings. In contrast, however, he will be concerned that their defensive qualities look a little more fragile, with 10 goals conceded in those matches and some crucial points dropped.  Their goal scoring streak at home now stands at 19 games in a row.  

They have been performing well at Stamford Bridge recently and are unbeaten in their last 7 home games.  

Raheem Sterling will be aiming to add his name to the scoresheet again to extend his goal tally of 3 goals in the last 6 league outings for Chelsea.

The Wolverhampton Wanderers players will be feeling somewhat disenchanted with their inability to pick up any points from their away fixture against West Ham United recently, that ended in a 2-0 defeat.  They achieved 60% possession in that match and had 15 strikes at goal, with 4 hitting the target, up against West Ham United's tally of 18 efforts at goal, 5 of which were on target.  

Having conceded 7 goals and scored just 2 in their last 6 games, they have been very fortunate to pick up 5 points.   There are concerning signs for them, having failed to score in 4 of their last 6 league games.  They will need to tighten up at the back, having failed to keep a clean sheet in all but 1 of their last 6 away games.  

Their recent poor run of form away from home has left them without an away win in 8 games.
