Chelsea vs Wolverhampton Prediction: Expect a lot of fight & cards shown

Wolverhampton will try to break the negative streak in the English Premier League in round ten when they go to Stamford Bridge to visit Chelsea. In the tenth round, Wolves go to Stamford Bridge Stadium to visit Chelsea.

Chelsea

Chelsea have had a successful return to the EPL after the break. On Matchday 9, Graham Potter's side visited Crystal Palace. As expected, the game turned out to be difficult, and in the end it was midfielder Gallagher who made the difference, 2-1 win. Chelsea are fifth in the EPL table with 13 points. This week, the Londoners returned to winning ways in the Champions League. In the third round of the group stage, the Pensioners left no chance at home to Milan, scoring three unanswered goals.

Wolverhampton

Wolverhampton disappointed their fans once again last week with a poor performance in the EPL. In the ninth round, the Wolves went to visit West Ham United and suffered a 0-2 defeat. Nine matches played, the Wolves have only six points under their belt. Wolverhampton are 18th in the EPL table. It should be noted that after the defeat at the hands of West Ham, the club's management decided to dismiss Bruno Lage from the post of head coach.
