Wolverhampton W., Recent FormA 1-1 draw in their last match against Nottingham Forest meant Wolverhampton Wanderers had to settle for a share of the points. In that game they had 72% possession and managed 8 attempts on goal, with 1 on target, compared to Nottingham Forest who had 17 attempts and 7 on target.
While they have been reasonably effective at circumventing their opponents defence, scoring 6 in their last 6 games, it's largely been tit for tat with their own defence proving to be equally ineffectual, conceding 10, and leading to valuable points being dropped. They are showing great consistency in finding the back of the net, having scored in 5 of their last 6 games. They are struggling defensively and as a result have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games.
It's been mixed fortunes for Wolves at The Molineux Stadium recently, having won 3 and lost 3 of their last 6 home games.
Chelsea, Recent FormA 0-0 draw and a point gained against Liverpool in their previous meeting will have been considered a fairly decent for Chelsea last time out. Their share of possession in that meeting was 49%, while racking up 12 shots along the way, 3 of which were on target. Liverpool had 7 shots on goal with 4 on target.
When it comes to attacking power Bruno Saltor will be justly satisfied with his squad's performances of late, which has seen them chalk up 6 goals in their last 6 matches. However, it hasn't all been going well, and questions remain about their defence with 7 goals lost in those 6 matches resulting in some crucial points dropped. On the road, they are showing great consistency in finding the back of the net, having scored in 4 of their last 6 away 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.
Having drawn 3 of their last 6 away games they have at least put some points on the board, but they will not be overly happy with only 1 win.
After a good 3-0 win for Chelsea in this pair's last league encounter, Wolverhampton Wanderers will certainly be looking for a better result this time round.
Wolves have struggled to keep Chelsea at bay when these two teams have met at The Molineux Stadium, during the last 3 times they have hosted Chelsea in the league, they have conceded a total of 6 goals. Playing at home, Wolves have conceded at least one goal in 2 of their last 3 league games against Chelsea.
Chelsea have been unbeaten the last 4 times they have faced Wolves in the league.
