Chelsea vs Wolverhampton preview & prediction

Match preview

Chelsea will return to the Premier League on Saturday afternoon to face Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Chelsea are hoping to move up in the Premier League table with a win over uncoached Wolves.

The visitors are expected to appoint recently sacked Sevilla manager Julen Lopetegui as the new head coach, but he is not expected to lead the side against Chelsea in the Premier League this weekend.

Last time out Chelsea defeated their opponent AC Milan by 3 goals. After some tough decisions by the coach, Chelsea had a breakthrough that came midway through the first half.

Wolverhampton Wanderers on the other hand lost 2-0 to David Moyes’ West Ham United in the league in their last time out with goals from Italian striker Gianluca Scamacca and attacker Jarrod Bowen.

With Chelsea’s last performance they can only hope to replicate that kind of victory when they welcome Wolverhampton.
