A lot has changed for Chelsea in the last month. From being Liverpool’s closest challengers, they now find themselves outside of the top four after failing to win any of their last five league games.
It could have been worse for the Blues had Reece James not marked his return from injury with a stoppage-time equaliser to salvage a draw against Bournemouth in midweek. The return of the club captain will be a welcome boost to manager Enzo Maresca who has also recalled Trevoh Chalobah from his loan at Crystal Palace to try and bolster his defence.
After leading Wolves to consecutive wins in his first two games as manager, Vítor Pereira has been brought back down to earth in recent weeks after consecutive 3-0 defeats to Nottingham Forest and Newcastle. Struggling at both ends of the pitch, they’ll need a much-improved display if they hope to take anything away from their visit to Stamford Bridge.
