Chelsea V Wolves – Match Preview, Predicted XI And Betting Odds

After a comfortable victory against Dynamo Kiev in the Europa League on Thursday night, Chelsea manager Maurizio Sarri will be keen to keep up the momentum against Wolves this weekend.

The Midlands club returned to form with a 2-0 win over Cardiff last week, but the Blues will be confident of getting the three points at Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea have no new injury concerns following the win over Kiev. Marco van Ginkel remains on the treatment table as he continues his recovery from an anterior cruciate ligament injury.

For Wolves, manager Nuno Espirito Santo has a fully fit squad to choose from for Sunday’s clash. Considering we are now seven months into a long season, that is quite remarkable.

They will, however, have first choice centre-back Ryan Bennett suspended for the game. The defender picked up his tenth booking of the season against Cardiff and has been handed a two-match ban.

The bookmakers have made Chelsea clear favourites to get the win. The Blues are 4/7 at Betfred with a draw currently 10/3 with Bet365. A victory for Wolves is 6/1 at Betway.

Chelsea’s Predicted XI To Face Wolves:

Kepa, Azpilicueta, Rudiger, Luiz, Emerson, Kante, Jorginho, Kovacic, Pedro, Higuain, Hazard

Wolves’ Predicted XI:

Rui Patricio, Doherty, Dendoncker, Coady, Boly, Jonny, Moutinho, Neves, Saiss, Jimenez, Diogo Jota

Predicted Score – 2-0 to Chelsea
