Wolverhampton Wanderers play their first game since the departure of manager Vitor Pereira as they take on Chelsea this weekend.
- Date: 08/11/2025
- Kick-off: 8:00pm
- Location: Stamford Bridge, West London
Chelsea are currently 7th in the Premier League with 17 points from ten games. The Blues are currently amidst a decent run of form with three wins, one draw and one loss from their last five games. Their most recent game was a 2-2 draw with Qarabag in the Champions League, a disappointing result amidst a fairly mediocre performance.
The Blues' games have been hectic of late, with their last five outings averaging 4.2 goals per game, while BTTS has occurred in four of those five games. Chelsea took on Wolves in EFL Cup at the back end of October and ran out 4-3 winners in a high-octane encounter. Goals are a common theme in matchups between these two, with the last four head-to-head meetings averaging 6.25 goals per game.
Chelsea have won three of their last four games at Stamford Bridge and have won all of their last three clashes with Wolves, so they'll be confident of coming away from this game with all three points.
Wolverhampton Wanderers are currently rock bottom of the Premier League table with two points from ten games. It's been an utterly torrid campaign for the Midlands-based club, with results and performances reaching a level deemed catastrophic enough for manager Vitor Pereira to be dismissed from his post by the club's board.
Wolves have been on an awful run, losing to all three newly promoted teams while also losing all of their last three games. Over 2.5 goals have been scored in all of their last three, while BTTS has occurred in three of their last five outings.
Wolves are likely to be in disarray until a new manager comes in and tries to calm things down, but with a caretaker in charge for this game, it's unlikely that Wolves will have any success against a side they've taken some heavy beatings from in recent matchups.
Chelsea 3-1 Wolves
