Chelsea return to Premier League action this weekend after being knocked out of the Carabao Cup by Arsenal in midweek. Indeed, the Blues lost 1-0 at the Emirates Stadium in the second leg of the semi-final to go out 4-2 overall on aggregate.
Wolves were in league action against Bournemouth last time out, losing 2-0 on home soil. They now welcome Chelsea to Molineux on Saturday afternoon, with the hope of causing what would be a huge upset.

Wolves vs Chelsea prediction: Blues to be four-midable?
Key stats
- Wolves are winless in three games, losing twice.
- Chelsea have won five of their last six matches in all competitions.
- Chelsea have also won the previous four H2Hs across all competitions.
Correct score prediction: Wolves 0-4 Chelsea
Given the most recent H2Hs, we are expecting plenty of goals. Wolves are in poor form and are among the league's leakiest defences, while Chelsea are in good form and are among the league's most potent attacks, so we are predicting a very comfortable away win.
