• Venue: Stamford Bridge

Chelsea are coming into this match with a strong run of form, having won three out of their last five games. They've shown they can handle tough opponents, beating Tottenham and Liverpool. Their attacking play has been sharp, and they'll look to exploit Wolves' recent defensive frailties.

Wolves, on the other hand, have struggled lately, losing three of their last five and drawing the other two. Their defence has been leaky, conceding ten goals in those games. They'll need to tighten up at the back if they want to get anything from this match against a confident Chelsea side.

Chelsea have been in fine form recently, winning three of their last five matches. Their victories against Tottenham and Liverpool show they can beat top teams. The only blips were home losses to Brighton and Sunderland, but overall, their confidence should be high going into this game. Their attacking players have been in good form, scoring eight goals in those five games. This should give them the edge against a Wolves side that has struggled defensively. Expect Chelsea to dominate possession and create plenty of chances.
