CHELSEA – WOLVERHAMPTON | Saturday 3pm
There is a breath of optimism at Chelsea. The change of technical leadership seems to have regenerated the environment in an important way. Potter’s men, who recently annihilated a haggard and downsized AC Milan in London, are fresh from a last-gasp victory over Crystal Palace. Gallagher’s goal was a breath of fresh air for the Blues, who currently sit fifth in the table, but they will be hoping to close the gap on the leaders relatively quickly as they still have a match to make up.
Aubameyang and co. take on a Wolverhampton side they haven’t won against since the summer of 2020. It is not a quiet period for Wolves, who opted to sack Lage in the days immediately following yet another thud against West Ham. Wolves, who occupy desolately the eighteenth place in the standings, are still without a technical guide, even if the rumours leaking out from England refer to the increasingly concrete possibility of a change with Lopetegui on the bench.
With Kante and Fofana out, there is room for Chalobah again. In the interests of a judicious balance of forces, Potter could again rely on Jorginho and Cucurella from the first minute. Full infirmary for Wolves, with Kalajdzic, Jimenez, Pedro Neto and Chiquinho not at their best, and Collins and Ruben Neves disqualified.
The Prediction
The hosts are in a good run of form, and could bite into the game from the first half. It is not excluded that Chelsea could freeze at half-time with a double advantage. The Blues should take the contest relatively comfortably, and score at least two goals, in a match that will be vibrant and could end with at least three goals in total.
The Chelsea-Wolverhampton line-up probables
- CHELSEA (3-4-3) Kepa; Chalobah, T. Silva, Koulibaly; James, Jorginho, Kovacic, Cucurella; Sterling, Aubameyang, Mount
- WOLVERHAMPTON (3-4-2-1) Sa; Semedo, Toti, Kilman, Jonny; Nunes, B Traore, Moutinho; Guedes, Costa, Podence
POSSIBLE RESULT: 3-1
