Games become more intense and competitive as we get closer to the end of the season, particularly as we have reached it halfway. Wolverhampton’s game against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge will be their 20th game of this English Premier League season, and it is a match that looks promising.
Wolverhampton Wanderers
Wolves, currently at the 14th position on the table, will have to put up a tough fight against Chelsea if they wish to keep their dream of top ten alive.
Currently, Nuno’s Wolves seem to find it onerous to maintain a sturdy defense as they have failed to keep a clean sheet since their game against Crystal Palace last October. And with a possible injury update from Ruben Neves, who has been crucial in both their midfield and defense, holding out on Chelsea will be challenging. Ruben Neves left the pitch on Saturday’s game against West Brom with a slight injury.
Luckily, Chelsea is also struggling to maintain a good record in the league after managing to secure only four points in their last five matches. Perhaps their poor performance might be positive to Wolves. Wolves can also see this as an opportunity to get back on a winning form.
Chelsea
Many blame Chelsea’s lackluster performance on Frank Lampard’s bad tactics and lineups, as seen in their previous games. After spending close to £200 million on player transfers in September, fans of the North London club expect the manager to have the club in the top 5 at least.
Lampard will have to reconsider his tactics if he hopes to keep his job at Chelsea. Each defeat or poor performance from the team poses a threat to his position. Still, starting the right attacking players and formation should be enough to rival Wolves.
Chelsea is now 8th on the Premier League table after their Tuesday’s defeat against Leicester City. So far, their attack has been mediocre this season despite the intense energy they displayed earlier. Their highest goal scorer is Tammy Abraham, who presently has six goals in 16 appearances.
Despite all odds, we believe that Chelsea will want to regain their confidence with a win against Wolves.

Players to look out for
Below are some players we should watch closely in next week’s game between Chelsea and Wolverhampton Wanderers. While these players may end up not having an assist or goal in the match, but one should see their influence on the pitch.
? Timo Werner. Although the German forward is yet to live up to the record he has in Germany, underestimating him in the next game will be a terrible idea. As of now, Timo has netted four times in all of Chelsea’s Premier League games.
? Adama Traore. Adama may not have scored yet this season, but his speed and threat to defense are what makes him crucial to Nuno’s attacking gameplay.
? Ruben Neves. Ruben has been crucial to Wolves, as seen in their last three matches. If not injured, one can expect the Portuguese midfielder to dominate the Wolves’ attacking and defending gameplay.
