Wolverhampton Wanderers, Recent FormWolverhampton W. boss Gary O'Neil will need to instil positive feelings within his team after they endured a 3-0 away mauling from West Ham United. In that game they had 56% possession and managed 14 attempts on goal, with 3 on target, compared to West Ham United who had 13 attempts and 4 on target.
O'Neil will be reasonably pleased with his team's attacking displays in recent matches, having managed to score 7 goals in their last 6 games, but he will have work to do defensively after they conceded 10 goals in those games and dropped some valuable points along the way. They have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games; however, they've scored in 15 of their 17 games this season.
They have been performing well at Molineux Stadium recently and are unbeaten in their last 6 home games.
Matheus Cunha will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 3 goals in the last 6 league games for Wolverhampton W..
Chelsea, Recent FormChelsea have set themselves up nicely for this match by securing a 2-0 home win against Sheffield United in their previous league match. In that game they recorded 78 % of the possession, with 15 attempts on goal, 6 on target. Their opponents found the target on 1 of their 6 shots on goal.
Their boss Mauricio Pochettino is sure to be taking a close look at his defence, who have given away 14 goals over the last 6 matches and yet amazingly still managed to collect some valuable points during this poor defensive spell due to their 11 goals scored. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 away games, but they have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games overall.
Their current form can't be viewed positively, having clocked up 3 losses from their last 6 games and only 2 wins to speak of.
With 4 goals from the last 6 away outings in the league, Nicolas Jackson has given the travelling Chelsea support something to shout about on the road.
Chelsea suffered the disappointment of a 1-0 defeat at the hands of Wolverhampton W. the last time they met in the league.
During the last 2 times these two teams have met in the league at Molineux Stadium, The Blues have been unable to break through the Wolves defence and find the back of the net.
In the league, Wolves have been unbeaten in their last 3 times they have welcomed Chelsea to Molineux Stadium.
Wolves manager Gary O'Neil has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Rayan Aït-Nouri (Ankle), Joe Hodge (Shoulder) and Pedro Neto (Hamstring) are all currently out of contention for this game.
