Chelsea are impressive against Wolves, having won the last four H2H matches. The two teams met twice this season. At Molineux Stadium in the EFL Cup, Chelsea won 4-3, while in the only match in London, the Blues won 3-0. Both matches were played a few months ago. Also, it is worth noting that the previous six H2H games between Wolverhampton and Chelsea went over 2.5 goals.
Wolverhampton team overview
After eight consecutive seasons in the Premier League, Wolverhampton will be relegated. With 14 rounds left, the team from Molineux Stadium is 18 points behind safety, and it seems pretty impossible that Wolverhampton could survive. Rob Edwards' team showed signs of life a few weeks ago, putting together their best run of the campaign with a five-game unbeaten streak. But any momentum they built has quickly faded, as back-to-back defeats followed that promising spell in their last two outings. Last weekend, Wolverhampton lost 2-0 at home against Bournemouth. The teams were pretty even most of the match, but the guests' much better efficiency was enough for points.
Wolverhampton were active on the transfer market since their last match. They added Angel Gomes on loan from Marseille and Adam Armstrong from Southampton. These two players will likely improve Wolverhampton's terrible offense, but it is probably too late.
Wolverhampton doesn't have big problems with missing players. Toti Antonio Gomes could be the only one unavailable for Saturday's game. Ladislav Krejci is in slight doubt due to illness.

Chelsea team overview
After finishing in fourth position in the Premier League last season, Chelsea expected more in the current campaign. Instead of fighting for their first championship title since 2017, they are again stuck in the battle for the Champions League places. Chelsea won five of the last six matches across all competitions. Their good streak ended on Tuesday night, when Arsenal won 1-0 in the EFL Cup semifinal at the Emirates Stadium. Although Chelsea lost, they played well and probably deserved more.
Chelsea didn't add any players in the final days of the winter transfer window. Instead, the Blues offloaded Axel Disasi, Tyrique George, David Datro Fofana, Aaron Anselmino, Kendry Paez, and Douglas Luiz.
Chelsea will be without Levi Colwill, Dario Luis Essugo, Oluwatosin Adarabioyo, and Romeo Lavia. Also, Pedro Neto, Reece James, and Filip Jorgensen are questionable.
