Match Preview
Wolves will be eager to bounce back after a narrow defeat to Burnley. Manager Gary O’Neil could opt for a compact setup, relying on Pedro Neto’s pace and Matheus Cunha’s creativity to exploit Chelsea on the break.
Chelsea, under Mauricio Pochettino, are expected to rotate slightly but maintain attacking intent. Cole Palmer and Raheem Sterling have been in strong form, while Enzo Fernández continues to dictate tempo in midfield. The Blues’ recent balance between pressing and possession has been key to their resurgence.
Expect a physical contest at Molineux, where Wolves’ intensity could test Chelsea’s composure.
