On the back of two consecutive wins, Chelsea FC are ready to face off against Wolverhampton Wanderers this evening at the Molineux Stadium, the home of the Wolves. Both Chelsea and Wolverhampton have been very inconsistent this season. The Blues are in 10th with 22 points, while the Wolves stand in 14th with three points behind Chelsea. Therefore, this game is a trump card for the two sides to increase the point difference. After losing to Manchester United and Everton FC, Chelsea returned to the winning track with the match against Sheffield United. In addition, the Blues defeated Newcastle United in their following game in the Carabao Cup, securing the semifinal of this tournament. On the other hand, the Wolves won only one of their last five games and lost three. In their last league game, they were snubbed by West Ham United at London Stadium.

Although the Wolves have a decent home record in the English Premier League, Chelsea can be a big threat for them today. After winning two consecutive games, the Blues are getting back the momentum. Raheem Sterling, Palmer, and Jackson already have shown their aggression in previous games. Therefore, we expect Chelsea to win today against the Wolves.
