Chelsea will entertain Wolverhampton Wanderers at Stamford Bridge in the Premier League on Saturday. The Blues have won five of their 10 games and are seventh in the league standings. Wolves are the only team in the league without a win and are at the bottom of the standings.
Chelsea defeated Tottenham Hotspur 1-0 in their previous league outing. João Pedro scored the only goal of the match in the 34th minute, with his former Brighton & Hove Albion teammate Moisés Caicedo providing the assist. They extended their unbeaten streak across all competitions to three games on Wednesday with a 2-2 draw against Qarabag.
The visitors, on the other hand, have endured a poor run of form and are winless in their last six games in all competitions. They suffered their fourth consecutive defeat last week, losing 3-0 away to Fulham.
