8087
We have five games to look forward to in the English Premier League on the 8th of October including the meeting between Chelsea and Wolverhampton Wanderers.
The match will be played at Stamford Bridge and the hosts begin the weekend in 5th place on 15 points while the visitors are in 18th place on 6 points.
Chelsea come into the game on the back of a good 3-0 home win over AC Milan in the Champions League on Wednesday night.
The Blues opened the scoring in the 24th minute and added two goals in the second half to secure the points, giving them a boost in their bid to qualify for the knockout stages of the competition.
That result means Chelsea are undefeated in their last 3 fixtures in all competitions. There have been wins over Crystal Palace away in the Premier League plus a draw at home with Salzburg in the Champions League.
In terms of the Premier League, Chelsea have won 3 of their last 4 matches. In addition to the win at Crystal Palace there have been victories over Leicester City and West Ham United.
Home form in the league shows Chelsea are undefeated in their last 7 games and no defeats can be found in Chelsea's 10 most recent home games in all competitions.
Wolverhampton Wanderers make the trip to Stamford Bridge on the back of a 2-0 defeat at West Ham United in the Premier League last weekend.
Wolves started brightly but West Ham took the lead in the 29th minute and doubled their advantage shortly after half time. Following the defeat, Wolves parted company with Bruno Lage and are without a permanent manager going into this match.
The defeat at West Ham means Wolves have recorded only 1 win from their last 15 Premier League games. They have lost 9 of those 15 league fixtures and have a poor away record.
Trends show Wolves have failed to win any of their last 8 away Premier League matches and have recorded only 1 win in their last 11 on the road.
Scoring goals when playing away in the Premier League has been a problem for Wolves this season and they have failed to find the back of the net in each of their last 3 away games.
Team news and Chelsea have doubts over the fitness of Carney Chukwuemeka and N’Golo Kante but every other player should be fit and available for the hosts.
Wolves have injury problems in attack with Pedro Neto, Hee-Chan Hwang, and Sasa Kalajdzic on the treatment table. Raul Jimenez could return to the team following a muscle injury but Rúben Neves is suspended.
On current form, this should be a comfortable afternoon at Stamford Bridge for Chelsea. Wolves have been lacklustre in attack and with continued injury problems for their forwards, Chelsea should win this game and keep a clean sheet.
